The Role and Importance of Mass-Transport Processes in the Construction of Deep-Sea Fans: A Study of Mass-Transport Deposits on Amazon Fan

9504322 Damuth 现在，质量传输过程（塌方、滑坡和泥石流）被认为与形成深海扇及其堤坝通道系统的浊流一样重要。 然而，大规模输送沉积物的面积和体积分布仍然不确定。 ODP Leg 155 核心了亚马逊粉丝上的 7 个网站。 这些和从堤坝系统恢复的高振幅反射包以及现有的高分辨率地震数据将为了解质量传输在深海扇构造中的作用提供研究基础。 ***

9504322 Damuth Mass transport processes(slumps, slides and debris flows) are now considered as important as turbidity currents in creating deep-sea fans and their leveed channel systems. However, areal and volumetric distribution of mass-transported deposits remains uncertain. ODP Leg 155 cored 7 sites on Amazon Fan. These and high amplitude reflection packages recovered from leveed channel systems, as well as existing high-resolution seismic data will provide the basis of the study to understand the role of mass transport in the construction of deep sea fans. ***
