Developing a relief map of the hawaiian seafloor.
The following features are shown at example depths to scale though each feature has a considerable range at which it may occur.
Continental shelf 300 feet continental slope 300 10 000 feet abyssal plain 10 000 feet abyssal hill 3 000 feet up from the abyssal plain seamount 6 000 feet.
The ocean floors contain dramatic landscapes volcanic ridges lofty peaks wide plains and deep valleys.
Scientists used multibeam bathymetric data to create a 3 d view of a portion of the charleston bump.
Bureau of ocean energy management releases the highest resolution bathymetry map of the region to date.
For 83 blocks of seafloor each stretching 3 nautical miles from the shoreline ten different maps are being made of the bathymetry underwater topography as seen in the color shaded relief map.
The map serves as a tool for performing scientific engineering marine geophysical and environmental studies that are required in the development of energy and marine resources.
