Ocean Basemap The Ocean Basemap includes bathymetry, surface and subsurface feature names, and derived depths This map is designed to be used as a basemap by marine GIS professionals and as a reference map by anyone interested in ocean data.

However, less than 10% of the seafloor has been mapped globally Researchers have built a detailed map of the ocean floor's topography by using satellites to spot subtle, watery lumps on the ocean's surface 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 USGS conducts high-resolution mapping to describe the physical features of the ocean floor, as well as the geologic layers and structure beneath it. Ocean Basemap The Ocean Basemap includes bathymetry, surface and subsurface feature names, and derived depths
