摘要: One of the largest submarine slides known, The Storegga Slide, is located on Norwegian continental margin. slide up to 450 m thick and has a total volume about 5,600 km3. headwall scar 290 km long run-out distance 800 km. involved sediments Quaternary Early Tertiary age occurred in three stages. Earthquakes combined with decomposition gas hydrates are believed be main triggering agents for slides. first event tentatively dated 30,000 50,000 years B.P. two last major events at 6,000 8,000
