2. Echo Sounding SONAR Sound signal is sent to the ocean floor and the time it takes to reach the ocean floor and return determines the depth

3. Sediment Sampling…Core Sampling Long, hollow cylindrical instrument removes a long core of sediments from the ocean floor

4. SatellitesProvides the greatest amount of speed and information for creating ocean floor maps
