| This false-color, three-dimensional map depicts a part of the East Pacific Rise, a mid-ocean ridge that roughly parallels the western coast of South America. The colors indicate depth (in meters) below sea level, as shown by the scale to the left. Several undersea volcanoes, or seamounts, are visible on the map. | ||||||
