On Recent Contributions to Our Knowledge of the Floor of the North Atlantic Ocean (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Exploring the floor of the North Atlantic Ocean, this study traces how our map of the sea bottom has evolved and what it tells us about deep-sea life, geology, and ancient cables.
Originally a scholarly examination, the work surveys how early charts and later soundings revealed a vast plateau between Newfoundland and Ireland, and how temperature, deposits, and rock fragments shape the ocean floor. It also discusses artifacts from submarine communication, the way ice-rafted debris reaches deep waters, and the minerals and fossils that accumulate over time. The narrative blends historical discovery with scientific observations to show how the ocean’s bottom differs from other oceans and what that means for currents, temperature, and life.
- Learn how scientists mapped the sea floor using isobathic contours and deep-sea soundings.
- Discover how temperature at depth varies across the North Atlantic and what that implies for deep-water chemistry.
- See how deposits like glauconite and phosphate form and travel with changing conditions on continental slopes.
- Understand the evidence of ice-rafted rocks and the role of oceanic processes in shaping the bed of the ocean.
Ideal for readers of oceanography and maritime history, this edition offers a clear look at how deep-sea science developed and what remains to be learned about the floor of the North Atlantic Ocean.
