a. Wave cut vs. wave built terraces
b. Onto shelf was wave base
1. Rock out side of wave terraces contradicts that theory (on slope and
sub-canyons) no wave also
2. Depth of outer shelf not related to size of existing wave (wave action
seldom below
3. Sediment size is so valuable in distribution on outer shelf
4. Topography of outer shelf is too irregular to be built by wave
Ice Age Sea Level
Plastocene Period
North America & Europe
(Some Siberia Providence) & Mongolia
R. H. Flink on Glacial Pleistocean geology (Wiley 1956 / page 258-271) suggests
glaciation lowered sea level from 250 ~ 500 feet
Thinifor melting would raise sea level by 250 -500 feet
(to be more accurate mud lennididge of depth of ice)
Statement that highlands of Northeast Canada not covered by glacier has been
refuted partially.
Norwegian Peninsula / show striae & deposition
During early and not late glacial period is possible (page 98)
Continental Slope
Slope in many places have much greater vertical relief than on land (even K2 ect)
Mt Everest
Andes sub = 42000 feet
Slope is greater 4-7 degrees
Slope is easily defined from continent shelf if shelf is present because of great
degree of slope to abyss or continental rise
Continental borderlands are enterrptions in the slope and use above the abyss orrise
