New data on the geomorphology of the continental slope of the central Great Kuril Ridge
Abstract
The paper discusses the geomorphology of the continental slope near the central Great Kuril Ridge. Individual bathygraphic systems of submarine canyons are outlined and their morphology is described. A model of formation of tectonic disjunctive dislocations (faults and thrusts) is developed on the basis of the submarine canyons profile analysis.
