Marine geophysicists often use ROVs (remote operated vehicles) to conduct their underwater research. Give it a try:

STEP 1: Use this simulation to practice driving an ROV!

STEP 2: Choose a spot in the ocean. Research online to figure out what it actually looks like down there.

STEP 3: Imagine you are a marine geophysicist in an ROV exploring this area. Sketch what ocean floor features you see out the ROV porthole!

STEP 4: Share your sketch in the Student Showcase to build your resume as a marine geophysicist!
