Tharp and Heezen’s pioneering work in the 1950s revealed the ocean bed as an immense, organised terrain rather than an unknowable void. Their mapping of mid-ocean ridges and rift systems provided the visual evidence that brought continental drift and plate tectonics into the scientific mainstream. This later popular map is not one of the original groundbreaking surveys; its achievement is Berann’s transformation of bathymetric research into a lucid and beautiful landscape. The Indian Ocean’s spreading ridges, deep trenches, fractured plate boundaries and continental shelves emerge in dramatic shaded relief, seen from high above a vanished sea.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53896240890203,"sku":"P-6-112332","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-112332a.jpg?v=1787843767","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/indian-ocean-floor-tharp-heezen-berann-bathymetric-physiographic-map-1967-p-6-112332","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
