Seafloor Mapping

A world map with oceans depicts seafloor mapping, which is the first step in exploring our oceans. Scientists, resource managers have identified the area they want to explore more. This phenomena is calculated using sonars and this helps in mapping accurate ocean trenches, ridges, plains, and submerged islands, and create more accurate ocean floor maps.

The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major oceans. As per the International Hydrographic Organization, it is recognised as an ocean, though some oceanographers call it the Arctic Mediterranean Sea or simply the Arctic Sea.
