The study of the topography and structure of the ocean floor is one of the most important stages in ascertaining the geological structure and history of development of the Earth's oceanic crust. This, in its tur
structure of the sea floor, and submarine processes. Dietz was born in Westfield, New Jersey, and received a B.S. degree in 1937 and M.S. in 1941 in geology from the University of Idaho. He was at the Illinois Geological Survey from 1935 to 1937 and Scripps Institute of Oceanography ...
This invention, however, requires additional supporting structure on the ocean floor for the pipe: “The anode carrier is therefore preferably placed on some type of support system, such as a ‘mud mat’ or other latticework, or some type of pipe rack, to prevent the pipe from sinking into...
The shear wave velocity structure of two deep ocean sites has been studied by detonating explosives on the ocean floor and examining the slowly moving Stoneley waves that were generated at the ocean floor interface. At the southern California site, the structure was found to be uniform insofar ...
The invention relates to means for protecting a stationary marine platform or structure from the contingency of damage due to contact with moving sheet ice. One or more submerged sheet ice shattering members are disposed about the platform at appropriate intervals and anchored to the ocean floor. ...
Results of seismic investigations in the transition zone from the Asian Continent to the Pacific Ocean are reported in detail. At the bottom of the sedimentary sequence presumably Cretaceous rocks are found in depressions of the sea floor. The "granitic" layer in the transition zone consists of ...
Asia - Stratigraphy, Structure, Geology: The recorded history of the Precambrian, which covers more than 80 percent of Earth’s geologic history, is divided into two eons: the Archean, between roughly 4 and 2.5 billion years ago, and the Proterozoic, bet

1 satellite image, rocks progress from west to east (left to right) from the deepest parts of the earth to those that were originally exposed on the ocean floor starting with peridodites that were once part of the Earth’s mantle and progressing to various rocks that emerged from the ...
The plate tectonic configuration of the Triassic–Jurassic palaeo-Pacific Ocean is unresolved. Analyses of ancient geological rocks that are preserved at the margins of North American and Asian continents, combined with tomographic images of subducted sl
