False color map of ocean depth in the Atlantic basin. The bathymetry of the Atlantic is dominated by a submarine mountain range called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). It runs from 87°N or 300 km (190 mi) south of the North Pole to the subantarctic Bouvet Island at 54°S. [24]
Major fractures zones of the Atlantic can be seen on this ocean depth map Active Atlantic Ocean fracture zones are perpendicular to the mid-ocean ridges (black lines) in orange shaded region In the Atlantic Ocean most fracture zones originate from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge , which runs from north to south, and are therefore west to east oriented ...
GEBCO is the only intergovernmental body with a mandate to map the whole ocean floor. At the beginning of the project, only 6 per cent of the world's ocean bottom had been surveyed to today's standards; as of June 2022, the project had recorded 23.4 per cent mapped. About 14,500,000 square kilometres (5,600,000 sq mi) of new bathymetric data ...

At its northern terminus, the Eastern Continental Divide originates at Triple Divide Peak [ a ] in Ulysses Township, Pennsylvania , about 10 mi (16 km) south of the ...
