It is often said that humans know more about the moon than the ocean floor, and most of the Earth’s oceans are still beyond human knowledge.

However, there is hope for a change in this situation, as the American space agency ‘NASA’ has released a new map of the sea floor, which is prepared based on data obtained from space.

This map was prepared with the help of a modern satellite ‘Surface Water and Ocean Topography Satellite’, which is a joint project of NASA and the French space agency CNES. This satellite was sent into space in December 2022.

This modern system is capable of scanning about 90 percent of the planet every 21 days while orbiting the Earth. Through this, not only the oceans but also the level of lakes and rivers is being examined, which is helping to better understand the water system.

According to NASA, the mission aims to create a detailed map of the world’s ocean floor by the end of this decade, so that information can be obtained about areas that have remained a mystery until now.

Experts say that this development will benefit not only scientific research but also practical fields. This information can play an important role in areas such as improving sea routes, navigation, installing undersea communication cables, exploring mineral resources and identifying potential hazards in advance.

Thus, this data obtained from space will not only help reveal the hidden secrets of the oceans, but can also form the basis for many new scientific and economic developments in the future.
