Despite the vastness of Earth's oceans, only about thirty percent of the seafloor is charted to modern specifications, revealing a stark difference with Mars, whose surface boasts complete mapping. The Seabed 2030 initiative has dramatically improved ocean coverage from six to nearly twenty-nine percent. This meticulous mapping relies on ships and sonar, a time-intensive endeavor crucial for effective tsunami predictions and maintaining submarine cables.
