UNIT ONE: Science Skills  Chapter 1Measurement  Chapter 2The Scientific Process  Chapter 3Mapping Earth

Chapter One: Measurement  3.1 Position, Coordinates, and Maps  3.2 Topographic Maps  3.3 Bathymetric Maps

Section 3.3 Learning Goals  Discuss how depth is illustrated on a bathymetric map.  Compare and contrast topographic and bathymetric maps.  Explore the role of echo sounding in the construction of bathymetric maps.

3.3 Bathymetric Maps  A bathymetric map shows the depths of a body of water such as a lake or an ocean.  Bathymetric maps use contour lines like topographic maps.

3.3 Showing depth  Color is also used to show depth in a lake or an ocean.  Shallow areas may be light blue and deep areas may be a darker blue.

3.3 Technology and bathymetric maps  The average ocean depth is 3,711 meters (12,175 feet).  The deepest place of all is the Mariana Trench) which is 10,923 meters (35,838 ft). Can you convert these distances into kilometers or miles?

3.3 Technology and bathymetric maps  Scientists measure these great depths using a technology called echo sounding or sonar.  A device on a ship sends sound waves outward from the bottom of the ship.

3.3 Technology and bathymetric maps  Sound waves from the ship “echo” off the ocean floor.  It takes time for the echo to return to the ship.  The longer the echo time, the deeper the water!

3.3 Nautical charts  Nautical charts are important tools for anyone in interested in navigating bodies of water.  Charts indicate hazards that can sink boats and show markers leading to channels.

Investigation 3C  Key Question: How can we tell what kinds of features are on the sea floor? Bathymetry of the Sea Floor

Finding her way: Anna Shafer-Skelton  Orienteering is… map reading, problem solving, and cross-country running rolled into one.  Anna Shafer-Skelton has been a part of the Saint Louis (Missouri) Orienteering Club since she was 7 years old.
