Seafloor Modeling and Mapping Lab

Purpose To create a model of the seafloor and its features. Simulate bathymetric mapping techniques. Convert a bathymetric map into a profile map.

Materials Shoebox ocean Playdough Scissors Tape Graph paper String: (16.5 Ft, total – 11 pieces that are 10”, 6 pieces that are 15”) don’t stretch it when measuring!!! Ruler and skewer stick

Procedure In your shoebox ocean, make a model of the ocean floor with playdough of the following features: Cont. shelf, slope, and rise, guyot, trench, mid-ocean ridge, seamount, abyssal plain, and submarine canyon Make a graphing transect across the top of your ocean (see next slide) Take depth readings at each string intersection (1 cm=100m) Record those readings on your graph paper Pick a transect line to use the data for a profile map.

Conclusion Define the following features in your OWN words: Cont. shelf, slope, and rise, guyot, trench, mid-ocean ridge, seamount, abyssal plain, and submarine canyon What was the depth of the shallowest point you measured? The deepest? What is the difference between a bathymetric map and a profile map?
