Comparing the performance of different animals with specific brain lesions helps scientists map which structures are critical for maintaining balance.

In the 1950s, scientists mapped the magnetic field generated by rocks on the ocean floor.

Repeated penetrations were made into the eyewall, and scientists mapped the storm's three-dimensional (3-D) wind field.

Now scientists can map the genetic blueprints of bacteria, and those maps provide clues to the weak spots of the bugs.

To some extent, the scientists and their satellite photos only map the density of petrochemical manufacturing in the country.

But for the first time, scientists have mapped the lake's depths (right).
