An oblique view of the continental shelf and slope near Long Beach, Calif. showing shaded relief of shelf and slope bathymetry and land topography. Looking northeast with illumination from the northwest. Bathymetry was produced from USGS high-resolution multibeam mapping and shows 16-meter spatial resolution. Topography is from a 10-meter resolution USGS digital elevation model. Created by James V. Gardner and Peter Dartnell of the U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, Calif.
