Question

9. What is the name of the feature at 37.054233" N, 74.494672 W (Enter 37.054233, -74.494672)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Landslides deposits, shallow faults and sedimentary marks.

Explanation:

• This place is located in mid-Atlantic, is located at the border of Hudson canyon which is a zone of a seismic event. The data collected from USGS in 2018 shows the gas deposits and structural features beneath the seafloor.

• The USGS data show the gas hydrates that were obtained from the sea bottoms. The hydrate interacts with the environment and the formation of geohazards like submarine landslides.

• Thus these places on the map receive the methane sweeps and hydrates of gas coming from the tectonic plate from below. The name of the edges of the shelf is also given after the submarine canyons.
