Suppose a boat needs to travel in water with a depth of at least 3 meters. Given the two-dimensional ocean depth map shown below, which of the following would be the safest path for the boat to travel, west-to-east, across this ocean?

straight across at 30.4° N latitude
straight across at 30.3° N latitude
straight across at 29.5° N latitude
diagonally from the top left corner (30.4° N, 90.4° W) to the lower right corner (29.5° N, 89.5° W)

I can solve these exactly, but I can’t see the pictures you’re referring to. Could you either attach the images or paste the grid/legend values shown in the maps?
If you want to check them yourself, here are short, exact procedures for each question so you can get the correct answer quickly:
1) Depth of the ocean bottom below the boat (tan plane = 6 m)
- If the tan plane represents a horizontal surface at 6 m depth, find the vertical distance from that plane down to the boat’s indicated bottom (or from the boat vertically down to the seafloor relative to that plane). If the boat is sitting on (or directly above) a colored layer, read that layer’s value from the legend and compare to 6 m. The depth under the boat = the numeric depth value at the boat location (not the distance to the plane unless the plane is an offset reference).
2) Depth at the red “x” in the 3D map
- Use the legend (color or vertical extrusion heights) and read the value assigned to the color/height at the X. If the 3D blocks are labeled by depth (e.g., each block = 1 m), count the number of blocks from sea level down to the X location.
3) Maximum depth shown on the 3D map
- Look at the legend for the deepest color or the tallest extrusion; or scan the map for the darkest/lowest area and read its label. The maximum depth is the largest numeric depth value present in the legend or on the blocks.
4) TABLE pane corresponding to a 2D map
- The table is a simple grid of coordinates (latitude, longitude) with the corresponding depth value at each grid intersection. For example:
Lat | Lon | Depth
30.4N | 90.4W | (depth)
30.4N | 90.3W | (depth)
… and so on for every grid cell shown on the map.
- If you paste the map’s grid values I’ll produce the exact table.
5) Safest path for a boat needing ≥3 m
- For each candidate path, sample depths along that line (either by reading the depths at successive grid points or checking whether the 3 m contour intersects that path). The safest path is the one where every sampled point along the path has depth ≥3 m (or, if none meet that strictly, pick the one that stays above the 3 m contour the most).
- If you give the map or the contour layout I’ll mark which of the four choices is correct.
Send the images or the numeric grid/legend and I’ll give the exact answers.
