Interplay of Mass-transport and Turbidite-system Deposits in Different Active Tectonic and Passive Continental Margin Settings: External and Local Controlling Factors
The volume and interplay of mass-transport (MTD) and turbidite-system deposits varies on different continental margins depending on local and external controls such as active-margin or passive-margin tectonic setting and climatic and/or sea-level change. Erosion and breaching of local grabens at the shelf edge of the southern Bering Sea produce giant, gullied canyons and MTD sheets that dominat...
متن کاملLate - Stage Development of the Bryant Canyon Turbidite Pathway on the Louisiana Continental
GLORIA sidescan imagery, multibeam bathymetry, seismic profiles, and piston cores (3-5 m penetration) reveal the near-surface geology of the Bryant Canyon turbidite pathway on the continental margin of Louisiana. This pathway extends from the continental shelf edge, across the continental slope, to a deep-sea fan on the continental rise. The pathway is narrow (<2 km) where it crosses shallow sa...
متن کاملExternal Controls on Modern Clastic Turbidite Systems: Three Case Studies External Controls on Modern Clastic Turbidite Systems: Three Case Studies
Three case studies are used to exemplify the wide variety of controlling factors that combine to influence the development of modern turbidite systems, and how these vary with location and time. For example, Cascadia Basin in the Pacific Ocean off western North America, which is underlain by the Cascadia Subduction Zone, exhibits the dominant tectonic control of earthquake triggering for turbid...
متن کاملTen turbidite myths
During the past 50 years, the turbidite paradigm has promoted many myths related to deep-water turbidite deposition. John E. Sanders (1926–1999), a pioneering process sedimentologist, first uncovered many of these turbidite myths. This paper provides a reality check by undoing 10 of these turbidite myths. Myth No. 1: turbidity currents are non-turbulent flows with multiple sediment-support mech...
متن کاملGreat earthquakes along the Western United States continental margin: implications for hazards, stratigraphy and turbidite lithology
We summarize the importance of great earthquakes (Mw & 8) for hazards, stratigraphy of basin floors, and turbidite lithology along the active tectonic continental margins of the Cascadia subduction zone and the northern San Andreas Transform Fault by utilizing studies of swath bathymetry visual core descriptions, grain size analysis, Xray radiographs and physical properties. Recurrence times of...
