Shape of the Seafloor
![Page 4: GEO/OC 103 Exploring the Deep …. Today’s Tune “ Sink to the Bottom” Fountains of Wayne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812a47550346895d8d84d7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Techniques of Bathymetry - 1 Challenger expedition (1872-1876) -1st
systematic bathymetric survey– ocean floor NOT flat - significant topographic
relief German ship Meteor (1920’s) - 1st
echosounding survey– sounds travels through water much better– velocity = distance/time– SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging)
![Page 5: GEO/OC 103 Exploring the Deep …. Today’s Tune “ Sink to the Bottom” Fountains of Wayne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812a47550346895d8d84d7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Bathymetry - 2 WWII - U.S. Navy further developed SONAR
technology– knowledge of the enemy– knowledge of the ocean
1950’s - 1960’s - single, focused high-frequency, short wavelength sound beam– “wide-beam” bathymetry– sound beam spreads out as it reaches bottom– range of depths - fuzzy estimate
![Page 6: GEO/OC 103 Exploring the Deep …. Today’s Tune “ Sink to the Bottom” Fountains of Wayne](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56812a47550346895d8d84d7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Bathymetry - 3 1970’s - revolution in bathymetric mapping
with multibeam bathymetry multiple, focused, high-frequency, short
wavelength sound beams– “narrow-beam” or “multibeam” bathymetry– sound beam stays narrow and focused all the
way to the bottom– depths much more precise– e.g., Sea Beam has 16 beams, Sea Beam 2000
has 121, Simrad EM120 has 191

Sonar Also Used as... a “catscan” of oceans to see water
structure ABOVE seafloor an “x-ray” of seafloor to see structure
BENEATH seafloor – seismic reflection & seismic refraction– low frequency, long-wavelength sound
sidescan sonar to get pictures of seafloor in addition to depth– backscatter strength as opposed to traveltime

Resolution with multibeam bathymetry can see things
on seafloor the size of this room– swath width of 6 km or 3.7 miles
good, high-resolution maps possible only since 1980’s
other instruments needed to see things smaller than size of room– remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs)– submersibles

Seafloor Features: Continental Margins
continental shelf - extends from shore to a point marked by great increase in slope
continental slope - steep slope beyond the continental shelf break
slopes often cut by submarine canyons– turbidity currents - dense flows of sediment-laden
water
– deepsea fans continental rise abyssal plain - extensive, flat

Seafloor Features: Deep Ocean seamounts - underwater volcanoes 500 m
to 1000 m high– flat-topped ones are called guyots– volcanic features (buoyed up by hot rock, lava)
abyssal hills - features around 200 m high– pervasive on seafloor– volcanic AND tectonic in origin - still debated
