| | | Bathymetry, Topography & Relief |
| |
| | Global bathymetry & topography are two of the most extensively used types of scientific data for a wide variety of scientific, practical, & artistic applications. Global relief forms a framework for visualization of other types of data & information, and provides boundary conditions for environmental modelling. |  | | | | Map from the IOC Marine Programme | | | | |
 | | | | | | | Title | MARINE CURRENT ENERGY
( WEBSITE )
| | Description | he strength of the marine currents generated by the tide vary, depending on the position of a site on the earth, the shape of the coastline and the bathymetry (shape of the sea bed). Along straight coastlines and in the middle of deep oceans, the tidal range and marine currents are typically low. Generally, but not always, the strength of the currents is directly related to the tidal height of the location. However, in land-locked seas such as the Mediterranean, where the tidal range is small, some sizeable marine currents exist. | | Keywords | TIDES; TIDAL; ENERGY | | Geography Keywords | GLOBAL; OCEANS | | Content Language(s) | English | | Web Address (URL) | http://www.worldenergy.o ... arine.asp | |
