This product is intended to aid fishermen and those needing seafloor features and potential fishing grounds. Ocean surface topography or sea surface topography, also called ocean dynamic topography, are highs and lows on the ocean surface, similar to the hills and valleys of earth's land surface depicted on a topographic map.

Comments ( 27) researchers today published the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced. Secondly, how is the ocean floor topography different from the topography of exposed land areas? Data collected by satellites and remote sensing instruments were used to created.

The colors you use are related to topographic height, with green at the lowest level, rising through yellow and tan, to white at the highest elevations.

After an introduction in which students try to identify hidden objects by the sounds they make when shaken in a box, students use string to map a model ocean floor by taking depth readings to simulate sonar.
