The results that let this new marvelously detailed map of the seafloor from nasa s earth observatory be made were.
Map of the sea floor.
Topographic maps of the sea floor.
The following features are shown at example depths to scale though each feature has a considerable range at which it may occur.
This is the first ever digital map of the earth s seafloor revealing deep ocean basins to be much more complex than previously thought.
The seabed also known as the seafloor sea floor or ocean floor is the bottom of the ocean no matter how deep.
Detailed depth contours provide the size shape and distribution of underwater features.
What lies beneath the deep blue sea.
Data collected by satellites and remote sensing instruments were used to created a model at least twice as.
It is the only intergovernmental organisation with a mandate to map the entire ocean floor.
Researchers today published the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced.
This section does not.
The map serves as a tool for performing scientific engineering marine geophysical and environmental studies that are required in the development of energy and marine resources.
The last complete map was hand drawn in the 1970s.
So much more than you might think.

Researchers have built a detailed map of the ocean floor s topography by using satellites to spot subtle watery lumps on the ocean s surface.
Map showing the underwater topography of the ocean floor.
All floors of the ocean are known as seabeds.
The latest status of its seabed 2030 project was announced to coincide with world hydrography day.
This graphic shows several ocean floor features on a scale from 0 35 000 feet below sea level.
