Tsunami image

Perspective view of the edge of the carbonate platform. Viewing direction is from the NE to the SW. White arrows point to the boundary between multibeam bathymetry and single-beam bathymetry. Black arrows point to fissures in the seafloor. Dotted lines are debris toes. The locations of a previously suggested strike-slip fault (SPRSFZ) and the largest free-air gravity anomaly on Earth (-380 mGal) are shown. Stippled textures (e.g., near SPRSFZ) are multibeam acquisition artifacts. Click on image to return to Tsunami main page.
