Ocean Technology 8 th Grade Science SWMS
Ocean Technology How we explore the ocean! Some major ways: – Sonar – Buoys – Submersibles
Sonar Using SOUND waves to determine depth and structure. Length of time for waves to return = distance. Longer Time = Deeper Shorter Time = Shallow How SONAR works
Submersible Vehicles that can submerge, or go under water. Robotic vs. Manned Explore the deep ocean!
Unmanned Submersible Manned Submersible
Buoys Floating devices that are used for: – Measure water properties (temp, pH, etc.) – Sonar – Navigation markers
Oceans in 3D hydrothermal vents
