Description

Submarine landslides are documented on active margins globally, where they tend to be concentrated along the frontal thrust of an accretionary prism. Historical evidence has suggested a variety of causal mechanisms that could generate submarine landslides on active margins. These include preconditioning mechanisms such as oversteepening, long-term tectonics, free gas and gas hydrates and climate change. Documented triggering mechanisms can include seismic ground shaking, excess pore pressure ...
