How do ocean models work?
Ocean models are used to simulate the state of the ocean and predict how it will change. The basic properties predicted are temperature, salinity, and pressure from the surface to the seafloor. In order to do this, models must also predict currents and changes in surface elevation.
How do you build an ocean floor?
As plates converge, one plate may move under the other causing earthquakes, forming volcanoes, or creating deep ocean trenches.
