  3. Notes Chapter 19-1 • Oceanography- study of the ocean

  4. Ocean Basins • 5 main ocean basins: • Arctic Ocean: smallest • Atlantic Ocean • Indian Ocean • Pacific Ocean: largest • Southern Oceans

  5. Ocean Vs. Sea • Global ocean: covers nearly ¾ (75%) of the Earth (Ex: Pacific ocean) • Sea: a smaller body of water that is surrounded by land (Ex: Salton Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Dead Sea)

  6. Mapping the Ocean Floor • Sonar- works by transmitting sound waves toward the ocean bottom and finding out how long it takes for the sound to echo back.

  7. Mapping the Ocean Floor • Submersibles- small underwater crafts used for deep sea research

  8. Mapping the Ocean Floor • The topography of the ocean floor is just as diverse as that of the continents!

  9. Assignments • Summary • Use the internet to research about sea creatures
