PATTERNS OF RELATIVE RELIEF, SLOPE, AND TOPOGRAPHIC TEXTURE IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN.
The study utilizes what is already known about the distribution of North Atlantic Physiographic provinces in the preparation of a series of charts which schematically illustrate selected functions of relative relief, slope, and topographic texture. The data employed in compiling these charts was obt...
