Ocean Basins

Ocean Basins. When early exploration of the oceans began, most scientists believed that the ocean floor was completely flat and featureless Furthermore, scientists believed that the deepest parts of the oceans were located in their center

Chapter Overview

Chapter Overview. The study of bathymetry determines ocean depths and ocean floor topography. Echo sounding and satellites are efficient bathymetric tools. Most ocean floor features are generated by plate tectonic processes.
