-------Medal and Fan!!------- A device that scientists use to map the ocean floor is_____?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sonar would be the answer. It bounces waves off the ocean floor back into the device, calculating the time it took the waves to travel and drawing a map of the target

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As long as it's biology and not geology... Which is what that question was about...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1)The process that continually adds new material to the ocean floor is called____? 2) The process by which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle is called______?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sea-floor spreading, and subduction. I can elaborate on those processes if you want explanation on what happens.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No thanks. By the way what is this? Biology or Geology?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The subject you are talking about is geology.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Geo = earth, Logy = logic, logic of the earth. Bio = life, Biology = Logic of the life. i'm sure seas are part of the earth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All good, i guess at early years you learn both of those in Sciences :)
