The ocean floor is not featureless. The ocean floor is not featureless. Many of the features found on the continental land are found in the ocean floor. Many of the features found on the continental land are found in the ocean floor.

Ocean Mapping Taking actual measurements of ocean depth is referred to as taking depth soundings. Taking actual measurements of ocean depth is referred to as taking depth soundings.

Ocean Mapping Echo Sounding – Sonar (sound, navigation, ranging) Repeatedly bounce a beam of sound waves off the ocean bottom back to the ship. Repeatedly bounce a beam of sound waves off the ocean bottom back to the ship. Delay in return of waves gives an accurate reading of the distance to the bottom. Delay in return of waves gives an accurate reading of the distance to the bottom. Single line of data. Single line of data.
