Features that shape Canada's Pacific coast.: Fs23-690/2022E-PDF
"Mountains, islands and fjords dominate the coast of Canada’s Pacific. Large rivers and coastal streams pour fresh water and inland minerals into coastal seas. Offshore of the continental shelf depths plunge to 2,500 m. In the open ocean, volcanic forces cause seamounts and hydrothermal vents to rise up, sometimes within 25 m of the surface"--Page [1].
