Puerto Rico
The island of Puerto Rico is almost rectangular in shape, and is the smallest and the most
eastern island of the Greater Antilles . Its coasts measures approximately 580 km, and
if the adjacent islands Vieques and Culebra are included the coast measures approximately
700 km. To the north and south seas capes measure 8.525 m for the Grave of Puerto Rico
and 5.000 m for the Grave of Tanner. In addition to the principal island, the
Commonwealth includes: Vieques, Culebra, Culebrita, Palomino (known by some by
the Spanish Virgin Islands), Mona, Monito and various others isolated islands.
Deep oceans waters fringe Puerto Rico.
The Mona Passage, which separates the island from Hispaniola to the west, is about
75 miles (120 km) wide and more that 3,300 feet (1,000 meters) deep. Off the
northern coast is the 28,000 feet (8,500 meters) deep Puerto Rico Trench,
and to the south the sea bottom descends to the 16,400 feet (5,000 meters)
deep Venezuelan Basin of the Caribbean.
