Imaginative Mapping With 3-D Collage: Oceans

Marie Tharp was an American mapmaker who famously created the first scientific maps of the ocean floor. Her maps revealed the existence of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a long range of underwater mountains complete with volcanic action that creates new ocean floors as continents drift apart. Learn about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge as you look at underwater maps of the oceans. Then work with an artist to create a 3-D collaged map of the ocean floor, a Mid-Atlantic Ridge as you imagine it.
