Oceanographic Map

An oceanographic map visually represents various physical and chemical features of the ocean, such as depth (bathymetry), currents, temperature, salinity, and the distribution of marine organisms. These maps help scientists understand ocean processes, study marine environments, and support activities like navigation, resource exploration, and environmental management. By illustrating data collected through remote sensing, sonar, and research, oceanographic maps provide a detailed view of the underwater world, aiding in the analysis of ocean dynamics and the impacts of climate change. They are essential tools for advancing knowledge of Earth's largest and most complex ecosystem.
