One of the most interesting projects in oceanography(海洋學(xué)) is the work of mapping the ocean floor. Only a very small part of it has been mapped .This was not important when only surface ships sailed the world’s oceans, but it can mean the difference between life and death to men in submarines(潛艇).

 Long ago there was only one way to find out how deep the ocean was .A seaman could throw a weighted rope over the side of his ship. Then he pulled the rope up after it had reached the bottom. But this was not a very exact way of measuring.

  In the twelfth century a better way was found. Sound was used to measure the ocean. An American Navy ship sailed the ocean to make an experiment. Seamen dropped a number of devices that would give out a loud noise when they hit the bottom. And a device had been invented measured the time it took for the sound to reach the ship .It helped oceanographer map the ocean floor.

Underwater photography is also important in mapping parts of the ocean floor. With the new methods that have been perfected, cameras can take pictures of the underwater valleys even in color.
