North-West Pacific topography. Computer map of the topography of the North-West Pacific Ocean,its coastal regions,and parts of East Asia. The main feature is the dark line running through centre. This is a series of tectonic plate boundaries,marked by deep subduction trenches. It was here,near Japan (upper centre),that a massive offshore earthquake on 11 March 2011 caused a powerful tsunami. This tsunami devastated the coast and cities of north-eastern Japan. This map,using the ETOPO-1 dataset,was produced by the National Geophysical Data Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).<br>Restrictions: | |
