• (3-1) Describe how technologies help scientists map the ocean floor
• (3-2) Identify the following features on a sea floor map: continental shelf, continental slope, continental rise, trenches, plains, sea mounts, guyots, and mid-ocean ridges.

Think About ItThink About It• At its deepest point, the Puerto Rico
Trench in the Atlantic Ocean is 28,231 feet (more than 5 miles deep). Because of the tremendous pressure, it is not possible for humans to personally explore this deep into the ocean.

Key QuestionKey Question
How do scientists know what the bottom of the ocean floor looks like? How do they know how deep the oceans are?
• I think… because…

Investigating the OceansInvestigating the Oceans
• Earth = Blue Planet– 71% of planet covered with water– 97% of that water is found in oceans
• Oceanography = Study of planet’s oceans

• Ocean Geography– Four major ocean basins
• Atlantic• Pacific – largest and deepest• Indian• Arctic – smallest and most shallow

• Tools for measuring the depth of the ocean floor– Sonar– Satellites– Submersibles
![Page 8: What I will learn…](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/5681438f550346895db00e49/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Sonar = Sound Navigation and Ranging– Sound waves sent to bottom of ocean– Sound waves reflected back to a receiver– Based on time it takes for wave to be
reflected, the distance to ocean floor can be measured
![Page 9: What I will learn…](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062801/5681438f550346895db00e49/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Satellites– Can measure the differences in the sea-
surface height by bouncing microwaves off the ocean’s surface
– Underwater mountains cause sea surface level to be higher
– Canyons & trenches
cause sea surface
to be lower

• Submersibles– Underwater vessel that can be used for deep
sea research– Can be manned or unmanned (ROV)– Carry scientific instruments to learn about
ocean

• The ocean floor is NOT flat!–3 Major Regions
• Continental Margins
• Ocean Basin Floor
• Mid-Ocean Ridge

B=B=Continental SlopeContinental Slope= = Steep slope that marks boundary between continental
crust and oceanic crust

C=C=Deep-Ocean TrenchDeep-Ocean Trench= = Deepest part of the ocean; form when one plate moves underneath another plate

D=D=Mid-Ocean RidgeMid-Ocean Ridge= = Underwater mountain system; sea floor spreads
apart; formed new ocean crust

places on Earth
