What was used aboard HMS Challenger to map the ocean floor?
HMS Challenger used echo soundings, which involved sending sound waves to the ocean floor and recording the time it took for them to bounce back, to map the ocean floor. This method helped create the first global maps of ocean depths.
Is the HMS Challenger credited as the first government sponsored research mission to study the ocean?
Yes, the HMS Challenger is credited as the first government-sponsored research mission to study the ocean. The expedition took place from 1872 to 1876 and covered nearly 70,000 nautical miles. It made significant contributions to oceanography, including the discovery of over 4,000 new marine species and the collection of extensive data on temperature, currents, and marine life.
Do you need to have a topographic map in order to explore the ocean floor?
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.
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 was Marie Tharp's contribution to plate tectonics?
Marie Tharp's contribution to plate tectonics was the creation of the first scientific map of the ocean floor that revealed the existence of a mid-ocean ridge and deep-sea trenches. Her mapping work provided critical evidence in support of the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics.
Why is echolocation important to the study of the ocean floor?
Because it helps map the ocean floor and have a better picture of it Because it helps map the ocean floor and have a better picture of it
What are sonars used for?

Are submersibles used to map the ocean floor?
no sonars areNo they are not, a sonar maps the ocean floor.

What tools are used to study ocean floor?
echo location is used to study, and map the ocean floor. submarines and camaras can also be used.
How many of the plates on the map consist entirely of ocean floor?

What type of ocean floor feature is evident in the cross - sectional map?
To accurately identify the ocean floor feature evident in the cross-sectional map, I would need to see the map itself. Common ocean floor features include mid-ocean ridges, abyssal plains, trenches, and seamounts. Each feature has distinct characteristics, such as the elevated structures of mid-ocean ridges or the deep, elongated depressions of trenches. Please provide details or descriptions of the map for a more specific analysis.
How could a graph be used to map the ocean floor?
