What else can I help you with?
What is the name of maps that show depths of water and the shape of the seafloor?
Hydrographic surveys, which support the nautical charts used by mariners.
On topographic maps contour lines that are farther apaart indicate?
Flat (gently sloped)
What is a hachure line?
One of the short lines used on maps to shade or to indicate slopes and their degree and direction.
What are contour maps use to identify?
Contours on a map identify the hight of the land above sea level, and so indicate hills and mountains.
What is an isochron map?
A contour map that displays the variation in time between two seismic events or reflections. BY ASIF ZEB ERS-087
Isochron maps indicate what about the seafloor of the ocean crust?
Isochron maps indicate the age of the seafloor on the ocean crust. They show patterns of different ages of the oceanic crust moving away from mid-ocean ridges, where new crust is being formed. Younger crust is found closer to the ridges, while older crust is found farther away.
Explain how an isochron map of the ocean floor supports the theory of seafloor spreading?
An isochron is a line on a map that connects points that have the same age. An isochron map of the ocean floor supports the theory of seafloor spreading because it shows the older rock near the deep sea trenches and the younger rocks near ocean ridges.
How an isochron map of the ocean floor supports the theory of seafoor spreading?
An isochron is a line on a map that connects points that have the same age. An isochron map of the ocean floor supports the theory of seafloor spreading because it shows the older rock near the deep sea trenches and the younger rocks near ocean ridges.
What is used to map seafloor topography?
Bathymetric maps are used to map seafloor topography. These maps are created using specialized sonar equipment to measure the depth of the ocean floor. The data collected is then used to generate detailed images and models of the underwater terrain.
Can you pay kicker costs with Isochron Scepter?
No, you cannot pay kicker costs with Isochron Scepter.
What are some sound waves are used to develop a map of the features of the seafloor.?
Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) waves are commonly used to develop maps of the seafloor. These waves are emitted from a source and bounce off the seafloor features, providing information on depth, shape, and composition. By analyzing the sound waves that are reflected back, scientists can create detailed maps of underwater landscapes.
What is isochron slope 0.0077 in years?
.540
May indicate percents of population?
Data Maps
If the isochron slope is 0.0077 what is the age in millions of years when first evidence of abundant fossils?
If the isochron slope is 0.0077, the age in millions of years when the first evidence of abundant fossils would be around 129 million years (1/0.0077). This calculation assumes a linear relationship between the isochron slope and time.
Satellites can obtain information about the seafloor because?
they use sensors to measure the shallow depths of the ocean and can detect variations in sea surface height caused by the gravitational pull of the seafloor's features. This data is then used to create maps of the seafloor topography and to study ocean currents, tides, and marine habitats.
What is the name of maps that show depths of water and the shape of the seafloor?
Hydrographic surveys, which support the nautical charts used by mariners.
Bands of rock the seafloor showing alternating magnetic orientation indicate earth's magnetic field has?
reversed itself in the past. hth :)
