View of Australia's western continental margin, looking eastwards from the Indian Ocean. The margin's topography illustrates a partitioning into shallow inner and deep outer portions, reflecting their two-phase evolutionary history. The outer margins have a record of extensive volcanism, illustrated by their rough surfaces.
