Abstract
Explorations of the structure of the piles of sediment underlying parts of the continental shelf, or terrace, have confirm the theory that in general this ubiquitous feature has been formed by up- and out-growth due to the deposition on the shelf (as topsets beds) and on the continental slope (as foreset beds) during a prolonged movement of either continous or intermittent submergence.Keywords
