No. The ocean floor can be located by sonar, by probe or by diving. But a topographic map will save time and money and preclude errors, as well as providing some safety.

What is the difference between a topographic profile and a geologic cross section?

A topographic profile is a plot showing the shape of the surface of the ground (so hills, hillocks, dips, valleys and the like). Whereas a geologic cross section shows the order and structure of soils and / or rocks below the ground surface. Geologic sections are typically created by first drawing a topographic profile of the section of interest then adding in the underlying strata. An example of the way they are created is given in the related links.


In order to construct a topographic map of your area you would have to collect certain dataWhat is this data and would you use the to make acontour map?

you would need the intervals of each angle to make the map.


How do magnetic stripes on the sea floor prove the sea floors spreading?

ok so... over time, the magnetic poles kept changing directions. for example ur compass wuld suddenly turn the opposite direction. there was this type of rock(forgot the name) that always points the direction of the magnetic pole. this type of rock erupts from the bottom of the ocean floor. scientists found that the rocks at the ocean floor would change direction in order. like, one section of the rock would be pointing north, and one section would be pointing south, vice versa. they knew that since the rocks change directions, new ocean floor was forming and were pushing the continents away from each other. the sea was alos spreading. i used this 4 my hw u better not go 2 my middle school(chaparral)
