Конус выноса Ингурской системы подводных каньонов (Черное море)

Аннотация

Turbidity currents transporting elastic material in submarine canyons create submarine fans - huge accumulative relief forms within continental rise.

The Inguri system of submarine canyons and valleys situated in south-eastern part of the Black Sea, forms a large fan with a complicated form. On the surface of the fan a complex is developed of smaller forms-valleys, turbidity current channels, closed depressions, levies. A conclusion is made on a significance of turbidity currents in sedimentation processes at continental rise in the investigated region of the Black Sea.
