Perusing The Ocean Floor

[Gale]

I came across a very large book published in 1980 by National Geographic; they had undertaken to map the ocean floor.

There is not a lot of information about the ocean floors and even less in the public domain. There are some very unusual markings and shapes to investigate.
Here are two images from that book.

This might be interesting.........

Please explain to me how a planet can gain mass from the inside out?

seabeds. fascinating.
they make up what, about 2/3 of the earth's surface ?
thats a big unknown

with the various ancient ruins and legends, you gotta figure it has all been studied as much as possible with the big subs and maybe other classified gear.

do you see something in particular in your: "very unusual makings and shapes to investigate."...?

[Bobbi]

When I first saw these pictures, my immediate response was "Oh my goodness, it's all been graphed out!" The exact grid marks are easily identifiable in these photos. Remember, this is what the bottom of the sea floor looks like EXACTLY. Now don't you find that incredibly odd? Do you think this kind of patterning is even remotely the result of a naturally occuring event?

[unipax]

Oh I see the grid marks.
Actually I had seen seabed images just like these elsewhere, and I thought those marks were part of the undersea mountain ranges.

Those images must be artist's renditions of the data gathered by sonar or whatever tech is used, so can we be sure of what the artist intended?

[Norval]

No Unipax, these are deep scan sonar images, not art work. They are presented in this format in the book so we can see the size, in comparison to the rest of the land, of the sea floor markings.

Speaking of art, ever do clay modeling? A fork is used extensively for base shaping work, then smoothed. Our sea floors look like some huge fork was used to shape things down there, or not. One thing for sure is there is far too much symmetry and systematic marking showing up to be "natural", IMHO. Can anyone say "terra forming"?

[unipax]

oh. thnx

any idea of the purpose of that particular terra forming ?

[Norval]

Many possibilities, a few probabilities, and some day we will learn the one that is truth. How's your patience?

[unipax]

Oh, I have lotsa patience. Sometimes maybe I have too much but thats a different subject.

Anyway the terra forming appears, or so I thought, to follow what looks like the spines of mountain ranges, which is why I thought it was just mountain terrain.

Now I wonder if it is terra forming associated with mountain terrain or just terra forming alone
