Ocean Floor Elevation Map

The following features are shown at example depths to scale though each feature has a considerable range at which it may occur.
Ocean floor elevation map. Detailed depth contours provide the size shape and distribution of underwater features. Map of the world s ocean showing target areas for biogeography of chemosynthetic ecosystems research. This super detailed map of the ocean floor s topography is based on satellite measurements of subtle lumps on the ocean s surface. Researchers today published the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced.
The map serves as a tool for performing scientific engineering marine geophysical and environmental studies that are required in the development of energy and marine resources. Active volcanoes red dots define the pacific ring of fire where they form along tectonic plate boundaries. Topographic maps of the sea floor. Map of the earth indicating boundaries.
Bathymetric map showing a global view of the mid ocean ridge mor. 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. The maps also bring erupting mid ocean ridges into sharper focus and help scientists understand volcanic eruptions the vast majority of which occur hidden far from view on the ocean floor.
