Figure 11 - Shaded-relief map of south O'ahu shows topographic details of the seafloor.

Map shows volcanic or slump features and drowned reef platforms, pinnacle reefs, and moats on down current side of reefs. Compare to shaded-relief map in Plate 3 and backscatter maps in Figures 12 and 13, and Plate 4. Note that large bedforms are visible in Plate 3 but do not appear in Figure 11 owing to map scale. Sun illumination: azimuth 345 degrees; angle 45 degrees.
