        MARINE GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS- AN INTRODUCTION Marine geology and geophysics are clinical fields which are concerned with fixing the mysteries of the seafloor and Earth's indoors. Marine geologists, like all geologists, are searching to recognize the approaches and records of the strong Earth, but their strategies vary from geologists who work on land because they have a look at geologic (Earth's) features that are underwater. The oceans cover more than 70% of Earth, and water obscures a wealth of facts about the rocks and sediments (debris of rock, sand, and different material) in the ocean basins. Marine geologists depend especially on bodily techniques to uncover the functions and approaches of the seafloor. Geophysicists are scientists who observe the bodily homes of the solid Earth, and regularly paint carefully with marine geologists. Geophysicists use experiments and observations to decide how Earth substances together with rock, magma (molten rock), sediments,

                                                     Ocean Mapping It's crazy to think that we don't have a complete picture of the planet," a researcher involved in a project to map the world's oceans by 2030 told Live Science. Humans have explored an incredible variety of strange and harsh environments - from the frozen surface of Antarctica to the unforgiving surface of the moon. But there may be one place right under our noses that holds a complete mystery: the bottom of the ocean. Most of the deep sea has not been seen by human eyes or perhaps mapped as it should be, and in fact the great fathers of the sea have not been found. So how many tons of ocean have we explored? It depends on how you define "find yourself". The first step of exploration is mapping — truly plotting out the shape of the seafloor, Vicki Ferrini, a geoscientist at Columbia University, knowledgeable Live Science. And as of mid-2023, we've got first-class mapped approximately 1
