Abstract:
Previous researches have revealed that major tectonic structures in the oceans correspond to bottom topography. Therefore, morphostructural analysis is one of the most important tools in their study. In this case, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans and various geophysical (seismic, gravimetric, and magnetic) data are of significant value. Among the geophysical review materials, the Gravimetric Map of the World Ocean is very important.
