PLEASE MAKE SURE WORK IS RIGHT SIDE UP OR AUTOMATATIC FAIL!!

The lab is attached.  It is a Word document so you can type answers on the lab, but you will have to print parts to draw the profiles.  A profile is the vertical outline of the topography.  The little illustration in Part 2 is an example of a profile.  You will draw this by hand using the depths from the linked Google Earth image as a guide.  Your profile does not have to be perfect.  You should show the major features with their approximate depth and location.  After you download and finish the lab, you will have to scan it to turn it in.  There is a free scanner in the library or you can photograph it with your cell phone.

The link in the lab to the NOAA explanation of bathymetry has expired.  This is the new link:

Here is the link to a video about mapping the ocean floor with satellites that may help you with the first part of this lab:

The colors on the maps you will use for the first part of this exercise are related to something like depth or gravity.  In the first set of images, color is related to depth.  In general, yellows and greens represent shallow depths and shades of blue indicate deeper water.  The deeper the water, the darker the blue.  The second set of maps show gravity anomalies and depth.  Each map panel has a scale attached.

You will find the images for Part 1 at the very end of the lab.  Color indicates depth for all of the images used for this lab.  As a general rule, greens indicate shallow water and shades of blue indicate deeper water with the darkest blue indicating the deepest water.

To open the image the image needed for Parts 2 and 3, you will need to download Google Earth.  It is a free download.  To find it, google "Google Earth ".  The image linked to your lab seems to open more easily if you open Google Earth then minimize it.  This image is a download.  The same link appears twice in the lab document.

***THERE ARE QUESTIONS INSIDE THE ATTACHMENT THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED AS WELL***
