1. Describe the bathymetry of the ocean seafloor and how the features relate to plate tectonics. Bathymetry is the depth of water relative to sea level. Bathymetry measurements can show that the sea floor varies and is ever changing. They can show active and extinct volcanoes, mountain ranges, and canyons. Additionally, they can show deep sea trenches and subduction zones. Plate tectonics theory stated that the outermost layer of the earth was divided into lithospheric plates. The interaction of
