Topographic Map Ocean Floor. Premium Photo Illustration of the 3D topography of the ocean floor Generative AI The following features are shown at example depths to scale, though each feature has a considerable range at which it may occur: continental shelf (300 feet), continental slope (300-10,000 feet), abyssal plain (>10,000 feet), abyssal hill (3,000 feet up from the abyssal plain), seamount (6,000 feet. Above: A marine gravity map of the North Atlantic Ocean Red dots show locations of earthquakes with magnitude > 5.5 and they highlight the present-day location of the seafloor spreading ridges and.

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 Undertaken by the Seafloor Mapping Lab of California State University, Monterey Bay over a span of 44 days, the study involved 1,138.
This map is designed to be used as a basemap by marine GIS professionals and as a reference map by anyone interested in ocean data. These data, which are used in several national and international mapping bathymetry projects, are free to the public with no restrictions For most of history, what lay below the sea surface and on the seafloor was a mystery
