Occurrence of Pyrosoma on the Continental Slope

Nature, 1960
Hurley and McKnight1 have reported that the pelagic tunicate Pyrosoma atlanticum atlanticum rests on or swims just above the sea-floor at a depth of 160–170 metres. Indirect observations made on this species in the course of a line-fishing survey of the fishes of the south-eastern Australian continental slope2 corroborate the concentration of this ...

Slope Stability of Continental Megalandslides

2013
Continental megalandslides, although rare, are found in various morphological settings including mountain fronts and valley sides with steep (> 30°) to shallow (

Topographic Waves over the Continental Slope

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1988
Abstract 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.

Line-Fishing on the Continental Slope

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1964
A method of line fishing in depths of over 1000 fm has been used successfully from R.V. ‘Sarsia’ on the continental slope. The catches have been mainly black squaloids but two brotulids, truly abyssal fishes, have also been taken.

Characteristics of Continental Shelves and Slopes

AAPG Bulletin, 1965
ABSTRACT One 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. Data on structure, composition, and topography provide the clues for

Geomorphic Evolution of Continental Terrace (Continental Shelf and Slope)

AAPG Bulletin, 1952
ABSTRACT Prevailing 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 ...

Precipitous Continental Slopes and Considerations on the Transitional Crust

Science, 1965
The continental slope bordering the Bahamian Platform to the east descends precipitously from a shallow edge to oceanic depths. Sustained slopes of at least 40 degrees have been found east of San Salvador. Considerations based on isostatic equilibrium suggest that in this area the oceanic crust may approach the edge of the shelf within a distance as ...

Geomorphometric characterization of the foot of the continental slope in passive continental margins

10th International Congress of the Brazilian Geophysical Society, 2007
The proposed work intends to make use of Geomorphometry – science that quantifies the forms of relief – in the characterization and distinction of passive continental margins. The main objective is to provide means to distinguish continental slope from continental rise in a non-subjective and morphologically coherent way.
