Seafloor geological surveys

Seafloor geological surveys are scientific investigations aimed at understanding the ocean floor's structure, composition, and features. Researchers use various tools, such as sonar and submersibles, to map underwater landscapes and study sediments, rocks, and marine ecosystems. These surveys help us learn about geological processes like plate tectonics and sedimentation, assess natural resources, and monitor environmental changes. By exploring the seafloor, scientists gain insights into Earth's history and improve our knowledge of marine habitats, which is vital for conservation and resource management.
