Description
North-western Atlantic, bathymetry model. Cutaway block diagram of the north-western Atlantic Ocean, showing in exaggerated form the height of land terrain and the depth of the seabed. Satellite images are used for the land. The seabed is based on a digital bathymetric map, with depth ranging from 0 to 6000 metres (labelled at upper right). Shown here are parts of North America (including Hudson Bay, the Great Lakes, and Florida), northern part of South America (including the northern Andes and the Amazon), southern tip of Greenland, and the islands of the Caribbean (including Cuba and Hispaniola). The island seamount just right of centre is Bermuda.
