An example of Bathymetry Data.

Bathymetry is the study and mapping of seafloor topography. It involves obtaining measurements of the depth of the ocean and is equivalent to mapping topography on land. The bathymetric survey will produce a map that charts the contours, depths and hardness of the ocean floor. The video above is not the result of the MH370 survey, but demonstrates the type of information and detail that is being gathered.
