What else can I help you with?
Is the floor near the mid ocean old?
No. The newest ocean floor is at the mid-ocean ridge.
What is one technology oceanographers use today to explore nthe ocean floor?
One technology oceanographers use to explore the ocean floor is multibeam sonar. This advanced sonar system emits multiple sonar beams in a fan shape to create a detailed 3D map of the seafloor topography. Multibeam sonar helps scientists to accurately study the features and structures of the ocean floor.
What is the floor of the ocean called?
The floor of the ocean is called the seabed or ocean floor. It is made up of different features such as abyssal plains, trenches, ridges, and volcanoes.
Is the ocean floor a good place for fossils to form?
A lot of shells of marine organisms wind up on the ocean floor. Bones do not last on the ocean floor, they get eaten. But shells can last.
In which layer of the Earth is the ocean floor?
The crust contains the ocean floor and also the continents on Earth.
What is device is used that emits a sound wave to measure the ocean floor?
A sonar device is commonly used to emit sound waves and measure the ocean floor. Sonar works by sending sound waves downward, which bounce off the sea floor and return, providing information about the depth and characteristics of the ocean floor.
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 instrument measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves?
A device called a echo sounder or sonar is used to measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves. Sound waves are emitted from the instrument and the time taken for the sound waves to bounce back from the ocean floor is used to calculate the depth.
What is depth as it is relating to the ocean?
Depth is a measure of distance between the surface and the ocean floor.
Did the scientists Henry Hess invented echo-sounding device for mapping the ocean floor?
no
What technique uses sound waves to measure the depth of the ocean floor?
Sonar.
How is sea beam used?
A sea beam is a type of sonar system used in marine navigation to map the ocean floor. It emits sound waves that bounce off the seabed and return, allowing the system to create detailed maps of the underwater topography. Sea beams are commonly used on ships and submarines for safe navigation and exploring the ocean floor.
How did scientist first map the ocean floor?
They pay the divers to go to the end of the ocean and measure the ocean floor depth before divers dive they take a long endless string keep it up the surface then take it al the way down and cut to where it ends so that when they are finished they measure
Which method is currently used least to measure the depth of the ocean floor?
Lead Weight
How do scientists explain older and younger rock placement on the ocean floor?
They measure how far away the rock is from the mid-ocean ridge. The farther, the older.
What is the topography of the ocean floor?
The topography of the ocean floor
Which landforms are on the ocean floor?
which landforms are on the ocean floor
