bathymetry
Significado: The measurement and mapping of the depth of bodies of water such as oceans, seas, and lakes; the underwater equivalent of topography.
Bathymetric surveys use sonar, satellite altimetry, and other technologies to create detailed maps of the ocean floor. These maps are essential for navigation, submarine cable routing, fisheries management, and understanding geological features like mid-ocean ridges and trenches. Bathymetric data has revealed that the ocean floor is far more varied and dramatic than the land surface, with mountains, valleys, and plains hidden beneath the waves.
Ejemplos
- Bathymetry of the North Sea has revealed ancient river valleys drowned by rising sea levels after the last ice age. 北海的水深测量揭示了最后一次冰期后因海平面上升而被淹没的古河谷。La batimetría del mar del Norte ha revelado antiguos valles fluviales sumergidos por la subida del nivel del mar tras la última glaciación.北海の水深測量により、最終氷期後の海面上昇によって水没した古代の河谷が明らかになりました。북해의 수심 측량을 통해 최종 빙하기 이후 해수면 상승으로 침수된 고대 하곡이 밝혀졌습니다.
