Ocean Mapping - Coggle Diagram
Ocean Mapping
Reasons
-
-
Using data about the depth of the water accurately can alert scientists on the constant changes of environmental conditions of the sea
-
Shape of seabed helps us understand ocean processes to predict flow of its currents & model sea levels
Mapping seabed mountainous terrains are crucial in understanding life in the ocean as organisms gather around there
Knowledge of both knowing how life thrives in the sea and the impact of changes in the sea depth affecting temperatures are crucial in conservation efforts
Challenges
-
-
-
-
Some stakeholders have paved the way to exploit the ocean of its natural resources used in modern technology such as natural minerals, deposits of oil and gas
Methods
-
In the early 1800s, sailors had to use 'lead lines' that had lead weights at the end. This would be lowered below water surface and when it hit the bottom, it measured the depth the ocean - however, not as accurately
