In
Prydz Bay, turbidite levee deposits and large sediment mounds and ridges
are reported to form parallel to deep-sea channels (Kuvaas and Leitchenkov,
1992). Down-slope processes have been the predominant process during
deposition of the glacio-marine sequence (i.e., since 34 Ma to present).
However, bottom-contour currents have been flowing westwards since the
Oligocene/Miocene boundary. For a summary about continental rise seismic
