How fast does sound travel through the rocks? And how does seismic velocity vary through different depths? See how scientists measure individual pieces of seafloor samples to get a better understanding of how the cores are related to seismic images. JOIDES stands for Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling and the JOIDES Resolution is a scientific research vessel used by universities all over the world. [3:03]
