Figure 10. Bathymetric profiles of sand waves showing slip faces oriented northward. Profile C-C' is of sand waves in the eastern field of east-west oriented crests, which have wavelengths of about 50 m. Profile D-D' is of sand waves in the northwestern corner of the study area where wavelengths are also about 50 m. Location of profiles shown in figure 2. |
