海底滑坡(Submarine Landslide)极为常见,其在形态和成因上都是多种多样的。破坏的地形形态常因地震剖面上固有的垂直放大而给人以假象,并导致命名上的混淆。深度和长度之比说明许多海底破坏基本上是平移的,只有局部和有限的非环形旋转分量。通常使用的“崩塌”(Slump)这一术语过于笼统,而且也不精确,故应停止使用,以利于根据各个地形横剖面形态的精确分析来加以命名。 Submarine Landslide is very common, its morphology and causes are varied. Destructive topography often gives the illusion of vertical magnification inherent in seismic profiles and leads to confusion in naming. The depth-to-length ratio shows that many submarine damage is essentially translational, with only partial and finite non-circular rotational components. The commonly used term “Slump” is too general and inaccurate and should therefore be discontinued for the purpose of naming it based on an accurate analysis of the cross-sectional morphology of the various terrains.
