| 英文摘要 | A newly identified large-scale submarine landslide on the NW African margin (Agadir Slide) is investigated in terms of its morphology, internal architecture, timing, and emplacement processes using high-resolution multibeam bathymetry data, 2D seismic profiles, and gravity cores. The Agadir Slide is located south of the Agadir Canyon at a water depth ranging from 500 m to 3,500 m, showing an estimated affected area of approximately 5,500 km(2). The analysis of the Agadir Slide's complex morphology reveals the presence of two headwall areas and two slide fairways (the Western and Central slide fairways). Volume calculations indicate that similar to 340 km(3) of sediment were accumulated downslope along the slide fairways (similar to 270 km(3)) and inside the Agadir Canyon (similar to 70 km(3)). Stratigraphic correlations based on five gravity cores indicate an emplacement age of 142 +/- 1 ka for the Agadir Slide. However, its emplacement dynamics suggest that the slide was developed in two distinct, successive stages. The presence of two weak layers (glide planes) is a major preconditioning factor for the occurrence of slope instability in the study area, and local seismicity related to fault activity and halokinesis likely triggered the Agadir Slide. Importantly, the Agadir Slide neither disintegrated into sediment blocks nor was transformed into turbidity currents. The emplacement timing of the Agadir Slide does not correlate with any turbidites cored downslope across the Moroccan Turbidite System. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
