Conditions at sea are much more
favorable for investigating the earth's

But so far we have only touched
the vast stores of knowledge that might
be gathered from scientific studies on
the oceans The unknown expaFlBe Of
the atmosphere above the earth offers
one challenge, and the equally unex-
plored depths OF the ocean await the
pioneering spirit OF great scientist
Mysteries Of the ocean depths are
slowly but surely being unfolded
through advances In oceanography,
which embraces aspects of astronomy,
geography, geology. physics. chemistry
and the biological sciences.
But In spite OF this accommodating
knowledge very little is known OF the
topography Of the ocean bottom. I
believe this is as important as the
mapping Of land topography, which
occupies less than one~thifd OF the
earth'g surface. A knowledge OF the
location Of the great depths and the
submarine piateaus will help seismoi-
ogista In studying earthquake rnoye-
