Bathymetry AND Sediments

The definition of the word bathmetry: is the science of measuring ocean depths in order to determine the sea floor topography.
The average depth of the ocean is about 3729m.
Who uses information about ocean bathmetry? some people that might use that would be like people who travel on ships so that they could navigate where they are going.

It benefits them by telling them where they are at, and possibly what time they may get to their desired destinations.
The definition of the word sediments: matter that has been deposited by some natural process.
Two major catigories: biota and precipitates.
