Oceanography - Marine Provinces

Explore the fascinating world of marine provinces and bathymetry in this comprehensive 51-minute lecture. Dive into the methods of measuring ocean depths, from traditional echo sounding to modern satellite-based techniques. Examine the various features of continental margins, including active and passive types, submarine canyons, and the continental rise. Investigate the complex structures of mid-ocean ridges, fracture zones, and transform faults. Gain a thorough understanding of the ocean floor's topography and its geological significance through detailed comparisons of bathymetric maps and sea floor mapping from space.
