The Ocean Floor --subsurface topography--
Ch 13, section 2
(before the 1900’s scientists thought the ocean floor was completely flat)

Sonar (sound navigation and ranging)
--invented during WWI--
• to find depth: use the formula:
depth= V x t (remember that you only want half the time)—units=meters
…where velocity of sound in ocean water is about 1,500 m/s

ABYSSAL PLAIN
• Flat area of ocean
floor

Mid-Ocean Ridge
• Divergent boundary
• Sea-floor spreading
• New sea floor formed

shape of the mid-Atlantic ridge?

Seamount
• Underwater
volcanoes
• If they reach the
surface they form
islands, like Iceland.
• FYI—called guyots if
flat-topped (due to
erosion)

3D model of ocean floor
(as a group)
• After you build the ocean floor, use toothpicks and sticky labels to identify the following ocean features:
• 1. continental shelf
• 2. continental slope
• 3. MID-ocean ridge
• 4. abyssal plain
• 5. seamount
• 6. trench—should not be right next to mid-ocean ridge (should be at subduction zone)
