Google Earth Maps The Oceans (RESPONCE)

I think is a really good idea on Google's part. This makes the Google Earth program even better because before it only showed pictures of land and not the ocean. So now 100% of the earth is viewable from this program. With the acception of government areas which may be censored by law or something.

Google Earth Maps The Oceans (NOTES)

  • Google earth usually shows just some blue shading to give an idea of depth.
  • Google earth now shows things below the surface of the water in 3D.
  • Shipwrecks, Surface temperature, Wildlife tracking are also included.
  • Google has the idea of using this technology to create an awareness about taking care of marine wildlife and not polluting.
