How did the ocean turn from green to blue?
The ocean did not turn different colors, the water has different hues depending on the environment and the animals or plants in the water. Also depends on the depth of the ocean floor the deeper it is the darker blue the water will look.

What part of ocean creates the sea floor?
acually its the moon, since it causes the tides to pound against the water making depth
What is the Ocean floor depth at oil leak?
The current oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is from an oil well under 5,000 of water.
What instrument emits a sound wave to measure the ocean floor?
A sonar instrument emits sound waves to measure the ocean floor. The sound waves travel through the water and bounce back when they hit the seafloor, allowing the instrument to calculate the depth and map the topography of the ocean floor.
What technology do scienctist use to measure ocean depth?
Scientists use echo sounders or sonar technology to measure ocean depth. These tools work by sending sound waves down into the water and measuring how long it takes for the sound to bounce back, allowing scientists to calculate the depth of the ocean floor.
Which method is not a technique currently used by ocean scientists to map the topography of the ocean floor?
Satellite imagery is not typically used by ocean scientists to map the topography of the ocean floor, as it cannot penetrate the water to provide detailed depth information. Instead, methods such as multibeam sonar and lidar are commonly used to create detailed maps of the ocean floor.
What two factors does sonar use to determine ocean depth?
Sonar determines ocean depth by measuring the time it takes for sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back. It also relies on the speed of sound in water, which is approximately 1,500 meters per second. By calculating the time delay and knowing the speed of sound, sonar can accurately calculate the depth of the water.
What is the vertical section of the ocean from the surface to the ocean floor referred to as?
This section of the ocean from floor to surface is called the water column.
What is the average depth in the ocean's floor?
There are so many different depth levels of the ocean, it is pretty much impossible to calculate the average depth unless every part of the ocean is measured. Update: The average is 3,700 meters. Wikipedia gives the average depth of the World Ocean (that's taking all the Oceans as one continuous body of water) as 3,790 metres (12,430 ft),
What is a bathometer?
A bathometer is a device used for measuring the depth of water, particularly the depth of ocean water.
The open ocean of any depth is called?
The open ocean of any depth is called the pelagic zone. This zone encompasses all the water in the ocean that is not near the shore or the ocean floor. Within the pelagic zone, there are different regions based on depth and light penetration, such as the epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, and abyssopelagic zones.
