Fig. 3. Seismic-reflection profile, trending NW to SE, across the continental slope south of Cape Fear landslide showing a strong BSR, indicating the base of HSZ.3 Free gas lies beneath the BSR, facilitating a zone of weakness. "Bright spots" indicate zones of free gas in high concentration. The concentration apparently is due to abundant inter-granular spaces in relatively coarse debris, another zone of weakness within this continental slope. These combined weaknesses can facilitate initiation of landslides. |
