Mapping of the ocean floor

महासागर तल का मानचित्रण

In this Class 11 Geography topic from “Distribution of Oceans and Continents,” students learn how the ocean floor is mapped and interpreted. They explore major features such as continental shelves, slopes, deep-sea plains, mid-ocean ridges, trenches and seamounts, and understand how soundings, sonar and bathymetric maps reveal underwater relief. The topic also helps connect ocean-floor patterns with plate boundaries, seafloor spreading and the changing distribution of continents and oceans.
