The Americas, sea floor topography C016 / 3726
The Americas, sea floor topography. Computer graphic of an Earth globe centred on the Americas, 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. Features include the Rockies and Andes mountain ranges, Pacific seamounts and island chains (left), several subduction trenches, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (right). At top is the Arctic Ocean and Greenland

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Americas, sea floor topography C016 / 3726" showcases the stunning beauty and complexity of our planet's underwater landscape. Created using a combination of satellite imagery and mapping data, this computer graphic presents an Earth globe centered on the Americas, providing a unique perspective on our world. The image features cloud-free satellite images in natural colors to represent the land surface, while digital terrain and bathymetric data depict both land and seabed contours. The ocean depths are color-coded, ranging from light blue on shallow continental shelves to darker blue in deep trenches and abyssal plains. Notable features include the majestic Rockies and Andes mountain ranges, Pacific seamounts, island chains on the left side of the image, several subduction trenches, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge on the right. Atop lies the Arctic Ocean with Greenland visible as well. This print is a testament to Earth's diverse geography and geological wonders. It highlights tectonic plate boundaries such as subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges that shape our planet's ever-evolving landscape beneath its vast oceans. With its black background contrasting against vibrant blues representing water depths, this visually striking image captures both scientific precision and artistic appeal. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected our continents are through these hidden underwater realms. Created by PLANETARY VISIONS LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY (not for commercial use), this print offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at Earth's intricate beauty from space while appreciating its dynamic geology below sea level.
