Hewitt [43K] Map of study area The goal of my research was to study salt distribution and the interrelationship between the movement of salt, development of slope basins, and sediment distribution within the Alaminos Canyon area, Gulf of Mexico. The Alaminos Canyon area is a region of complex seafloor topography located at the transition between the continental slope and rise. By studying this area, we can gain a better understanding of the geologic processes within the slope environment and provide information for future exploration. Due to the depth of the seafloor within the study area, direct sampling of sediment and rock is difficult.

Bounding ranges on the east and west are underlain by Tertiary strata and Jurassic rocks underlie low hills on the eastern side of the valley. The map pattern thus suggests that the valley is a horst rather than a graben! We interpret the valley to have formed along a normal fault but with an unconventional geometry owing to effects of weak and buoyant evaporitic mudstone in the footwall block. In eastern Sevier Valley, steeply Read More Go to Site http://www.pttc.org/solutions/406.pdf Votes:0 PDF Document Read More Go to Site TASYO project objectives Votes:0 RESEARCH TOPICS : State of Art and Unsolved Questions The term "Olistostrome"of the Gulf of CÁdiz: the westward travel of Mediterranean mega-allochthonous to reach the Atlantic ocean crust? .
