Description:
Submarine landslides are extremely numerous and variable, both in geometry and in
origin. The vertical exaggeration inherent in seismic profiles commonly conveys a false impression
of failure geometry and leads to inconsistency in terminology. Depth/length ratios indicate that
many subaqueous failures are basically translational with only localized and limited noncircular
rotational components. The commonly used term "slump" is too general and imprecise, and its
usage should be discontinued in favor of nomenclature based upon analysis of the precise crosssectional
geometry of individual features.
