  1. Maps and Navigation

  2. Dividing up the Globe • 1 degree (1°) = 60 minutes (60’) • 1 minute (1’) = 60 seconds (60”)

  3. For Example... • Boerne, TX • Latitude: 29° 48’N   • Longitude: 98 ° 43’W

  4. Navigation Terms • Distance • Nautical mile • 1 minute • 1.85 km • 1.15 miles • Speed • Knots (nautical miles per hour)

  5. If you want to travel from Austin (Latitude 30° 17' N) to Oklahoma City (35° 24‘ N) how many nautical miles would you drive? How many miles?

  6. Topographic Map • Physical features and contours • Contour line – connects elevations of equal height • Contour interval – vertical distance between contour lines • Example

  7. Bathymetric Map • “Depth-measuring” map

  8. 3-D Monterey Bay

  9. 2-D Bathymetry

  10. Measuring Depths • Soundings – earliest with rope, now with SONAR • (Sound navigation ranging) • Multibeam sonar

  11. Captain Jim is running the sonar aboard the “SS Champion”. In a certain location the sound pulses return to the ship in 5.2 seconds. How deep is the ocean at his location?

  12. Side-scan SONAR

  13. Side Scan Graphic

  14. Side Scan Data

  15. Nautical Chart

  16. Texas Coast Treasure Hunt
