Questions
1. Compare the two line graphs. Which one more closely matches the appearance of the ocean floor? Why do you think that is?





2. Why is sonar a more accurate way of mapping the ocean floor than weighted lines?

Answer 1

1) They are the same line so they match equally bc they are measuring the same thing just one is more specific than the other

2) Sonar measures all depths at every possible point and maps it including all the gaps in between the 5cm apart the ocean floor is. The difference between the points could be a cliff or a smooth decline.

Answer 2

Mapping the ocean floor is made these days due to efforts of professionals and the researchers of the aquatic biosphere. As, they have revealed the mysteries that were not discussed before. So, analyzing the ocean floor and making it more easy for us to know the diversity found on the ocean floor.

1. While, the diversity on the ocean floor is inhabited by millions of species and these species in a more larger space then we expect as the different organisms covers miles of space inside the ocean and for that reason we have to analyze each species habitat by using a much wider form of scale.Collecting Data at 10 cm intervals.

2. Sonar:

Sonar is based upon using the ultrasonic form of waves, as they are generated by a source of U.V rays in a specific direction to analyze any given area or subject target by the professionals. The ultra sonic waves are considered much penetrable, having the capacity to be more secure and having less number of losses in them. Which makes the sonar more accurate then any other source of waves to analyze a given space.

• Note:

"Most of the aquatic and other animals uses the sonar procedure to locate there prey and other targets etc."
