Task#10 – Bathymetric Maps- Oceanography
Bathymetric Maps
Bathymetry is the measurements of water depths. One way to visualize the seafloor is by using a contour map. Contours are lines drawn connecting points of equal depth. It’s like “connect the dots” but with a twist. The lines are called isobaths, a line on a map that connects all points having the same depth below sea-level. Watch the first 6 minutes of this video, How to Draw Contours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6FbV0LiA_k. The twist is that the depths for the isobaths may not be marked on the map; you’ll have to make an educated guess.
- Looks like the boat captain didn’t finish drawing this bathymetric map. He managed to draw the 500-foot isobar. Draw the 485, 490, 495, 505, and 510 feet isobars.
Figure 1. Bathymetric map with the 500-ft contour line. - This map contains a bunch of soundings. Complete this contour map using a contour interval of 10 feet starting at 80ft, 90ft, … to 130 ft. For now, ignore the line connecting points A and B.
Figure 2. Soundings map with points A and B. - Once you have drawn all the isobars, take the edge of a sheet of paper, and line it up with the gray dotted line. Mark the letters A and B on your paper. For every spot an isobar touches your paper, make a tick mark and write down the depth.
Figure 3. A pirate constructing a contour profile map of the ocean floor. - Take the sheet of paper, line it up with the graph paper and plot the depths on the graph below.

Just a bit off from the syllabus rubric, but I can add to the slides on my own. Thank you anyway.

To the writer, THANK YOU, a million times over, this is very impressive! Thank you to the support team for making a hiccup not turn into a disaster!
Milly.P
There was consistent communication from the start, and it was obvious the writer thoroughly reviewed the information provided. Thank you.
Ivy.G
Excellent work all the time! love my writer also. Don't know if I'm supposed to do this but I just need to say this writer does excellent work!
Emily.s
The writer followed my instruction thoroughly and did a great job. The quality of the paper is more than I expected. Thank you.

You people have been really patient with me as I created mechanical engineering content. It’s not an easy topic to handle, yet I can say that I worked with a skilled specialist. My writer took time to understand my ideas but it was mostly my fault. Just share more details.

When I received a paper revision from my new college professor, I was desperate as I didn’t know what to do. If not for Academized, I would be doomed. They know how to fix things for you and explain what was wrong as they fix it.

You're the best, I'll be using your services again soon! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I asked my writer to help me compose a personal essay about charity work that I do at the local church. It is not easy for me to express myself in words, which is why I needed some privacy and a good person who would appreciate my thoughts and ideas.
