WORLD OCEANThough generally described as several 'separate' oceans, these waters comprise one global, interconnected body of salt water sometimes referred to as the World Ocean or global ocean. This concept of a continuous body of water with relatively free interchange among its parts is of fundamental importance to oceanography.

SEA LEVEL Ocean’s average height relative to land.
Throughout history sea level has changedShifts in climateGrowing or shrinking ice capsIce ages = more landMore water frozen in ice
Warm periods = less landMore water is liquid

THE VAST UNKNOWN
On January 7, 2005, only 400 miles from its base on Guam, the navy submarine USS San Francisco was traveling about 35 mph when it slammed into an uncharted mountain about 6,000 feet beneath the surface.
One crew member died and 23 others were injured.

OCEAN FLOORThe familiar landscapes of continents are mirrored, and generally magnified, by similar features in the ocean basin.
The largest underwater mountains, for example, are higher than those on the continents.
Underwater plains are flatter and more extensive than those on the continents.
All basins contain certain common features that include oceanic ridges, trenches, abyssal plains, and volcanic cones.

1B) CONTINENTAL SLOPE
Steep slope leading from the edge of a continent down to the seafloor

2) ABYSSAL PLAINSFlat, featureless plain making up a large part of the seafloor
![Page 21: EXPLORING THE SEA FLOOR Lesson 5. MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Watch and take notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f355503460f94c53c1e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SEAFLOOR SEDIMENTS
Covering the abyssal plains are seafloor sediments that have different origins.3 types:1) Terrigenous – Consists of mineral grains eroded from land.2) Biogenous – Consists of shells and skeletons of marine animals and algae.3) Hydrogenous – Consists of minerals that crystallize directly from ocean water.
![Page 22: EXPLORING THE SEA FLOOR Lesson 5. MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Watch and take notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f355503460f94c53c1e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3) MID-OCEAN RIDGE
Underwater mountain range, where new seafloor is created.Atlantic Mid-Ocean Ridge is largest in the world
![Page 23: EXPLORING THE SEA FLOOR Lesson 5. MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Watch and take notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f355503460f94c53c1e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
OCEAN RIDGESIn most locations, oceanic ridges are 2,000 meters or more below the surface of the oceans.
In a few places, however, they actually extend above sea level and form islands. Iceland, the Azores (about 900 mi. off coast of Portugal), and Tristan de Cunha are examples of such islands.
![Page 24: EXPLORING THE SEA FLOOR Lesson 5. MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Watch and take notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f355503460f94c53c1e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
4) MID-OCEAN RIDGE
Scientists believe ocean ridges are formed when magma emerges from Earth’s interior, a process known as seafloor spreading.
Alfred Wegener developed continental drift theory, Pangaea
Which led to Harry Hess’s proposal of seafloor spreading
![Page 25: EXPLORING THE SEA FLOOR Lesson 5. MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Watch and take notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f355503460f94c53c1e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
5) TRENCHESDeepest feature of the ocean, plunging deep below the seafloor.Trenches are long, narrow, canyon like structures, most often found next to a continental margin. They occur much more commonly in the Pacific than in any of the other oceans. The deepest trench on Earth is the Mariana Trench, which runs from the coast of Japan south and then west toward the Philippine Islands—a distance of about 1,580 miles.The British naval vessel, Challenger II surveyed the trench in 1951 and named the deepest part of the trench, the "Challenger Deep".

5) TRENCHESIts deepest spot is 11,033 meters below sea level called the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench.
Earthquakes and volcanic activity are commonly associated with trenches.

6) VOLCANIC CONESOcean basins are alive with volcanic activity. Magma flows upward from the mantle to the ocean bottom not only through rifts, but also through numerous volcanoes and other openings in the ocean floor.
a) Seamounts are submarine volcanoes and can be either active or extinct.
b) Guyots are a specific type of seamount with a flattened top. Extinct volcanoes that were once above sea level but have since receded below the surface. As they receded, wave or current action eroded the top of the volcano to a flat surface.

SOUND IN WATER
Sound in water travels much faster than sound in air travels Avg speed is 1500 m/s (3000 miles per hour) Air = 340 m/s
Can measure depth using: D= (1/2) T*V Sea depth = ½ Time * Velocity ½ because 1T = surface to floor and then floor to surface

SEAFLOOR SEDIMENTS Diverse and complex
Variety of abiotic and biotic factors
Differ depending on the type of material they come from Land = TERRIGENOUS sediments Living organisms = BIOGENOUS sediments Smaller portion from chemical reactions
![Page 50: EXPLORING THE SEA FLOOR Lesson 5. MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Watch and take notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f355503460f94c53c1e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
SOILS Terrigenous sediments are primarily abiotic materials (rock & debris) that are broken down
Carried by water, wind or ice (erosion) to the ocean
As they move, they bump against other objects Smoothing the surface
Composition depends on the parent material White vs black beaches?

SEDIMENT TYPES
Black Soil – Hawaii – Eroded volcanic rock
White – Quartz based from granite rock or biogenous
![Page 52: EXPLORING THE SEA FLOOR Lesson 5. MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Watch and take notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f355503460f94c53c1e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
SEDIMENT Biogenous comes from broken parts of shells of marine organisms
Common source is from microscopic phytoplankton
Where there are lots of plankton Sea floor is typically biogenous Some white sand beaches made exclusively of these
Some biogenous sediments come from weathering of coral reefs Open ocean, as quartz and terrestrial materials is limited the farther you go

OCEAN ZONES The ocean can be divided into two basic regions:
A. Pelagic Zone (anywhere in the water column)
B. Benthic Zone (the seafloor)
![Page 57: EXPLORING THE SEA FLOOR Lesson 5. MAPPING THE OCEAN FLOOR Watch and take notes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f355503460f94c53c1e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
PELAGIC ZONE The Pelagic Zone is further divided horizontally into:
1.Neritic Zones (Coastal oceans) – Nearshore.- large variety of conditions- Salinity can increases by evaporation, or decrease
from river input- Temperature changes rapidly- Most biologically productive part of the sea
2.Oceanic Zones (Open Ocean) – Offshore.- Open ocean- 90% of the world’s ocean

PELAGIC ZONE
Can also be divided vertically into:
A.Epipelagic zone – (0-200 meters)
B.Mesopelagic Zone (200–1000 meters)
C.Bathypelagic Zone – (1000-4000 meters)
D.Abyssalpelagic Zone – (4000-6000 meters)
