Vicissitudes, Grenada Vicissitudes, Grenada Taylor's early work includes Vicissitudes, Grace Reef, The Lost Correspondent and The Unstill Life. [18] All of these artworks are located in the world's first public underwater sculpture park in the Caribbean Sea in Molinere Bay, Grenada, West Indies, [19] and situated in a section of coastline that was badly damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004.
Marine architecture is the design of architectural and engineering structures which support coastal design, near-shore and off-shore or deep-water planning for many projects such as shipyards, ship transport, coastal management or other marine and/or hydroscape activities.
The seabed (also known as the seafloor, sea floor, ocean floor, and ocean bottom) is the bottom of the ocean. All floors of the ocean are known as 'seabeds'. The structure of the seabed of the global ocean is governed by plate tectonics. Most of the ocean is very deep, where the seabed is known as the abyssal plain. Seafloor spreading creates ...
The elevated ocean floor is known as the Hawaiian Arch. The Hawaiian Arch extends about 656 feet (200 meters) above the surrounding ocean floor, and contains tilted coral reefs . [ 3 ] The Hawaiian Trough is about 18,045 feet (5,500 meters) deep and has a radius of about 8.7 miles (14.0 km).

Magnetic anomalies off west coast of North America. Dashed lines are spreading centers on mid-ocean ridges. The Vine–Matthews-Morley hypothesis correlates the symmetric magnetic patterns seen on the seafloor with geomagnetic field reversals. At mid-ocean ridges, new crust is created by the injection, extrusion, and solidification of magma.
Waking up on the bathroom floor doesn’t have to mean you’ve hit rock bottom. On the contrary: Regaining consciousness can be chic when the first thing that comes into focus is an exquisite tile .
Marine geology or geological oceanography is the study of the history and structure of the ocean floor. It involves geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological investigations of the ocean floor and coastal zone. Marine geology has strong ties to geophysics and to physical oceanography.
