Description
Pacific Ocean, topographic map. This map is centred on Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, with East Asia at upper left and North America at upper right. The seabed depth varies from shallow (light blue) on the continental shelves, to deep ocean basins (dark blue). The Pacific Ocean contains the deepest point in the world's oceans. Highlands and lowlands of the continents are also shown, as ridges and flat areas. Topographic and bathymetric data is usually gathered by using aerial and satellite imagery combined with radar and sonar mapping.
