Sur submarine slide, Monterey Fan, central California
Sedimentology, 1988ABSTRACTThe Sur debris slide and associated debris flow cover more than 1000 km2 of the eastern part of Monterey submarine fan and extend from the base of the continental slope near the apex of the fan to the Monterey fan valley. The flow is generally confined between the continental slope and remnants of an older channel (Monterey East fan valley ...

Experiments on incipient channelization of submarine fans
Journal of Hydraulic Research, 2002Experiments on the formation of channelized submarine fans by the passage of successive turbidity currents are presented. Channels similar to subaerial rivers are found in many submarine fans. The inception of channels on submarine fans, which are essentially depositional environments, can be explained in terms of the lateral distribution of the rates ...

The Barra Fan: A bottom-current reworked, glacially-fed submarine fan system
Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2000Abstract On the basis of sedimentary structures, textures and ichofauna, seven depositional facies have been recognised in cores from the Barra Fan region of the Hebrides slope. Sedimentary facies are combined into three genetic groups A–C that represent their primary mode of deposition: (A) sandy to muddy contourite facies A, A1, and A2, which ...

Sedimentology, 1983
ABSTRACT Three transitional submarine fan environments are recognized in the late Precambrian, 3‐2 km thick Kongsfjord Formation in NE Finnmark, North Norway, namely: (1) middle to outer fan; (2) fan lateral margin, and (3) fan to upper basin‐slope deposits.

A Devonian Submarine Fan in Western Argentina
SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1976ABSTRACT The Punta Negra Formation (Middle to Upper Devonian of the Precordillera of western Argentina) consists of a monotonous sequence of graywackes and shales. It increases in thickness from east to west reaching a maximum of about 1,700 m. The graywackes occur in beds that are generally 40 to 50 cms, but frequently more than 1 m thick, arranged in

Quaternary Styles of California Submarine Fans: ABSTRACT
AAPG Bulletin, 1980The morphology and sedimentation patterns of large, deep-ocean submarine fans along the California coast, like Monterey fan, differ from that of smaller borderland or slope-basin submarine fans like the Navy and La Jolla fans. Small borderland fans feature areas of channels, isolated depressions, and a convex upward profile which are characteristic of ...

Longshore Drift, Submarine Canyons, and Submarine Fans in Development of Niger Delta
AAPG Bulletin, 1972The southwesterly prevailing wind of the Gulf of Guinea strikes symmetrically on the nose of the Niger delta, causing divergent longshore drifts which meet opposing drifts near Lagos and Fernando Poo. Submarine canyons channel about 1 million cu m of sand a year from each pair of opposing drifts to feed submarine fans on either side of the delta foot ...

Submarine Fan Formation Inspired Optimization Algorithm
Submarine fans are an important component of deep-sea sedimentary systems. Their formation is influenced by a combination of factors, including gravity flow transport, particle size classification, fan-shaped expansion, and the superposition of multiple sedimentary stratifications.openaire +1 more source
Submarine-Fan Sedimentation, Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas and Oklahoma: ABSTRACT
AAPG Bulletin, 1983More than 10,000 m (33,000 ft) of interbedded sandstones and shales comprise the Upper Mississippian and Lower Pennsylvanian flysch succession (Stanley, Jackford, Johns Valley, Atoka) in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Deposited primarily by turbidity current and hemipelagic processes in bathyal and abyssal water depths, these strata ...
