Answer:
What Is the Oceanic Floor?
This lesson is all about the ocean floor. Just what is the ocean floor? The ocean floor is literally the floor of the ocean. It is the bottom of the ocean when you dive. Not too many people have gone to the floor of the ocean as it requires special diving equipment since the water pressure is very high the farther down you go. You can't be without protective equipment when you are down that deep. The pressure of the water would crush you.
Scientists are using various other techniques such as radar to explore the ocean floor. According to Scientific American, the ocean floor has been mapped to a resolution of 5 kilometers as of 2014. This means that anything larger than 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) can be seen. From this mapping, you'd be able to see the canyons, abysses, and slopes of the ocean floor.
