Explain this. How is the ocean not mapped when satellites can see every corner of this earth?




Satellites are usually 500 to 1000 miles above ground, you can not map oceans from that high up

Marine Cartography

Click the link and Look up Marine Cartography. It's a complex job and it is not easy at all to map oceans

This is hard to understand too.

We have so much technology to go into deep space and find shyt out about other places/planets but we can’t figure out our own ocean?
It's not when you get just how deep, expansive and dark the ocean is. And how much pressure there is at great depths. It is hard to create machines that have the ability to go that deep, and then to do extensive exploring of these areas. 70% of the earth is water. Think about how big that 30% is that's land, and think about how hard it would be to explore over two times that, with the added difficulty of it being aquatic.
