Atlantic Ocean Floor Map – National Geographic
This National Geographic map drains away the water and renders the Atlantic basin as terrain. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs the length of the ocean like a seam, flanked by abyssal plains, fracture zones, and the continental shelves off North America, West Africa, and Europe. High contrast shading separates shallow shelf from deep basin at a glance.
