Atlantic Ocean, sea floor topography C016 / 3725
Atlantic Ocean, sea floor topography. Computer graphic of an Earth globe centred on the Atlantic Ocean, generated using satellite and mapping data. The land surface is represented with cloud-free satellite images in natural colours. Digital terrain and bathymetric data are used for the land and seabed contours. Ocean depths are colour-coded: light blue on the shallow continental shelves to darker blue for the deep trenches and abyssal plains. Down centre is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Surrounding the Atlantic are Europe, Africa, North America and South America. Seas include the Mediterranean and Caribbean. At top is the Arctic Ocean and Greenland

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing topography of the Atlantic Ocean's sea floor. Created using a combination of satellite and mapping data, this computer-generated image presents an Earth globe centered on the vast Atlantic Ocean. The land surface is beautifully depicted with cloud-free satellite images in natural colors, while digital terrain and bathymetric data bring to life the intricate contours of both land and seabed. The color-coded ocean depths range from light blue on the shallow continental shelves to darker shades representing deep trenches and abyssal plains. At the center of it all lies the remarkable Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a prominent feature that stretches across this expansive body of water. Surrounding this geological marvel are Europe, Africa, North America, and South America, forming a stunning backdrop for this visual masterpiece. Noteworthy seas such as the Mediterranean and Caribbean add further depth to this composition. The Arctic Ocean with its icy expanse can be seen at the top along with Greenland. This print not only captures our planet's breathtaking beauty but also serves as a valuable tool for scientific research in various fields including earth science, seismology, physical geography, oceanography, and more. It is a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing technology to unravel nature's secrets hidden beneath our oceans' depths.
