1 Ocean- Exploration Technology
SONAR- SOund NAvigation and Ranging. *Used for determining ocean depth. *sound waves from ship bounce off ocean floor & return to ship; shorter return time may indicate a ridge or mountain; Map ocean-floor features.

2 Ocean- Exploration Technology
____________- _________ NAvigation and Ranging. *Used for determining ocean ________. *_________ waves from ship __________ off ocean ___________ & return to ship; shorter return time may indicate a _________ or __________; Map ____________ features.

3 Ocean Exploration Technology - Satellite
SEASAT. *used to measure direction and speed of ocean currents. Geosat.-Measures changes in height of ocean’s surface. *allows scientists to make very detailed maps of the ocean floor, *covers a much larger area than ship-based SONAR

4 Ocean Exploration Technology - Satellite
_________. *used to measure _________ and ________ of ocean _________. __________.-Measures ________ in _______ of ocean’s __________. *allows scientists to make very detailed _____ of the ocean ________, *covers a much _________ area than ship-based ___________

5 Deep-Ocean Exploration Technology
Below- surface vessels: Robotic vessels: Ex: JASON II & Medea *Used to explore the deepest parts of the ocean, *can withstand much greater pressure than piloted vessels.*send data back to ship.

6 Deep-Ocean Exploration Technology
_______-________ vessels: ________ vessels: Ex: _______ II & Medea *Used to explore the _______ parts of the ocean, *can withstand much greater ______ than _______ vessels.*send ______ back to ship.

7 Deep-Ocean Exploration
*Piloted vessels: Ex: ALVIN and other deep-sea submersibles. *built to withstand crushing pressure/can carry occupants *ALVIN first discovered hydrothermal vents off the coast of the Galapagos Islands.

8 Deep-Ocean Exploration
*_________ vessels: Ex: ________ and other deep-sea ______________. *built to withstand ________ ________/can carry ___________ *__________ first discovered ____________ vents off the coast of the _________ ________.
