Quark 7,098 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 o<(0_0)>o In a remarkable example of using satellite technology, scientists have discovered thousands of mountains beneath the waves of the world’s oceans. The survey of the mountains was actually unintentional but the yield of data is nothing short of astounding. The underwater volcanoes were discovered by the scientists and researchers at California’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography aka SIO as well as associative organizations who helped in the findings. The findings were published in the journal Science. The oceans are the least explored areas of the Earth and many have complained over the years that we know more about outer space than we do our own oceans. Now, with this new data and other ocean floor mapping, we have a greater look at what lies beneath the briny deep. David Sandwell the SIO geophysicist and lead paper author pointed out that his teams used new approaches to achieve the remarkable discoveries. http://www.capitalberg.com/scientists-discovered-thousands-of-high-range-mountains-under-ocean/2615/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
