Paleotopography
Reconstruction of the Earth’s surface paleotopography and paleobathymetry between present day and 540 Million years ago as still images.
Bathymetry is explained in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make understanding the shape and features of the ocean floor clear and engaging. These visuals show seafloor depth, underwater mountains, trenches, ridges, and basins, helping educators, students, and geoscience enthusiasts explore how bathymetric mapping reveals the Earth’s hidden landscapes. Perfect for teaching and learning, this bathymetry graphic collection turns complex marine geology concepts into visually rich, easy-to-grasp resources for understanding the topography of the world’s oceans.
