I really need help with an oceanography assignment and i don’t know where else to go

Our take

Navigating oceanography can be daunting, especially when faced with complex assignments like exploring marine sediments using Google Maps. Your task involves examining the geographic and bathymetric distribution of five sediment types—terrigenous, glaciomarine, calcareous ooze, siliceous ooze, and red abyssal clay. While the sheer volume of data may seem overwhelming, breaking down the task into manageable steps can help clarify your observations and hypotheses. Remember, the journey of understanding oceanography is as valuable as the final grade, and your determination will serve you well. Good luck!

i’m doing an exploring marine sediments with google maps assignment and its like i read the words but i genuinely don’t know what to do. it says to rotate the globe to explore the geographic and bathymetric distribution of each of the 5 sediment types we’re learning about (terrigenous, glaciomarine, calcareous ooze, siliceous ooze, and red abyssal clay and record my observations on them; alongside also proposing hypotheses about the lithologic distribution and other information i would want in order to test my hypotheses. HUH. theres like hundreds of these little small dots all over the globe for each one how am i supposed to do all that for each one????? i should probably say i don’t really know anything about oceanography, i accidentally chose this class super high thinking it was like marine biology (stupid i know) but now i’m just trying to not fail. please help me.

edit: well it took me literally 7 hours but i finished it and i’m actually pretty proud with my work! it probably would’ve been a lot easier if i knew this stuff beforehand but i actually learned a lot and i’m just really hoping i get a good grade..wish me luck:p
