Abstract Continental slopes are the edges of continental blocks, the zones of change from continental crust to oceanic crust. They are critical links in the chain of sedimentary processes that eventually carry sediment to the true ocean basin floor. In spite of their importance, until recently continental slopes have been largely ignored

Continental Slope Off Southwest Florida
AAPG Bulletin, 1959Recent surveys of the west Florida continental slope made by the Coast and Geodetic Survey show for the first time the detailed topography of the southern part of this area. A marked change in topography at 27° North latitude separates the northern from the southern part of the slope and is related to north-to-south changes from clastic to non-clastic ...

Topographic Waves over the Continental Slope
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1988Abstract Current meter data taken during a one-year period over the continental slope and upper rise in three cross-isobath sections have been examined for energy distribution, coherence, and phase propagation of topographic waves. A peak at 15 days is present in the energy preserving spectrum of the near-bottom currents on the rise and slope.

Geomorphic Evolution of Continental Terrace (Continental Shelf and Slope)
AAPG Bulletin, 1952Prevailing concepts regarding the geomorphic modification of the continental margin rely on the theory of wave base and its corollaries, namely, a wave-built terrace, topset shelf beds, and steep foreset slope beds. These views are rejected because they are theoretically unsound and they do not adequately explain the form of the terrace as revealed by ...

Carbonates of the Louisiana Continental Slope
Offshore Technology Conference, 1987ABSTRACT The continental slope off central Louisiana has' extremely complex surface topography as well as subsurface structures that are primarily inherited from salt tectonics, with other features generated by differential sedimentation, erosion, and mass movement.

North Carolina continental slope zoogeographical barrier
Deep Sea Research Part A. Oceanographic Research Papers, 1979Abstract Collections of sipunculans and pogonophorans from depths between 150 and 2000 m around latitude 35°30′N were analyzed and used to supplement earlier information from this region. The addition of eight pogonophoran species from this area and minor revisions of earlier data reaffirm and strengthen the hypothesis that a zoogeographical barrier ...

Pogonophora on the New England Continental Slope
Science, 1963Two species of Pogonophora on the continental slope off southern New England are reported. Two species were found: Siboglinum ekmani Jägersten and Siboglinum sp., an undescribed species. The density of both species combined, at 366 m, was 30 per square meter and at 567 m depth, it was 25 per ...

Characteristics of Continental Shelves and Slopes
AAPG Bulletin, 1965One of the most important and interesting geological questions awaiting solution is that of the origin of continental shelves and slopes. Just as for other geological features, more than a single origin is involved for different areas or for different times.

Northern Gulf of Mexico continental slope
Geo-Marine Letters, 1990The hummocky continental slope in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico is the result of active salt tectonism and accompanying faulting. Fluid and gassy hydrocarbons rise through the sediment column and along faults causing the formation of gas hydrates, gassy sediments, mud volcanoes and mounds, chemosynthetic communities and authigenic carbonates, reefs ...

Erosion of canyons in continental slopes
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2005AbstractSonar images of the Atlantic USA continental slope reveal an eroded landscape that appears remarkably similar to subaerial landscapes eroded by surface runoff. Analysis of multibeam data reveals that they are also similar in a number of quantitative aspects, such as similar scaling between channel gradient and contributing area, they show Hack ...
