Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth account of an 1899 US Navy expedition to map a trans-Pacific cable route, revealing fascinating insights into the ocean floor. The scientific team meticulously documented their findings, including data on depth, temperature, and the composition of sediment at various depths along multiple survey lines. Their observations deepen our understanding of Pacific Ocean topography, revealing massive peaks and abyssal plains, and provide valuable information for cable laying. The book also sheds light on key concepts in oceanography, such as the distribution of red clay, globigerina ooze, and diatom ooze, and their relationship to depth and distance from land, ultimately enriching our knowledge of the Pacific's complex marine environment.
