Title: Bottom current features in the continental slope of the Atlantic Moroccan margin
Abstract: The continental slope of the Atlantic Moroccan margin (southern Gulf of Cadiz) shows a diverse and complex morphology which exhibits several bottom current features: erosive elements, as moats, contourite channel sand erosive surfaces, and depositional elements, as drifts and sediment waves. Mound shaped features interpreted as bioconstructions have also been identified. These features could be produced by the interaction of the Mediterranean Outflow Water with the complex relief that characterises the study area.
