Geology 130 - Marine Geology Name: ____________________ Spring 2007 Lab #2 – Sea Level Due at start of class on February 12, 2007 I. Seafloor Profiles Remember making, by hand, a bathymetric map of the Monterey Bay last time? Followed by the construction of a profile between Santa Cruz and Monterey? There is an easier way using GeoMapApp! GeoMapApp is freeware that you can download and install on your home computer courtesy of /geomapapp/ Begin GeoMapApp – it is already on the lab computers Once displayed on screen, use default Mercator Projection, click OK First Click , then drag a box to along central California continental margin with the Mendocino fracture zone on the north and southern California on the south. Wait for screen to update Notice the Mendocino Fracture Zone and Transform, Gorda Ridge, various seamounts on the abyssal plane of the Pacific plate, and the Monterey Submarine Canyon. Next drag another box outlining the same region around Monterey Bay that was shown on the contour map that you constructed in Lab 1. Wait for screen to update 1. Does this image have more detail than your contour map? ________ Click on “View” Menu and check “Color Scale” and click on “View” Menu again and check “Map Scale” Click on “Tools” Menu Select “Make Relief Profile” Click on the same location as Point A in Lab #1 (Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz) and HOLD YOU MOUSE BUTTON DOWN and drag cursor to Point B (Monterey). The bathymetric profile between these two points should appear on your screen. 2. Is this profile more or less accurate than the profile that you constructed in lab #1? ___________ This profile, as well as the one that constructed in Lab #1, have a large amount of vertical exaggeration. 3. What is the X-scale dimension? ___________________ 4. What is the Y-scale dimension? ___________________ 5. What is the vertical exaggeration in this profile? ______________ 6.
