Turbidite sedimentation in the Nankai Trough as interpreted from magnetic fabric, grain size, and detrital modal analyses.

Abstract

At Site 582, turbidites approximately 560 m thick were recovered from the floor of the Nankai Trough. These were derived predominantly from the mouth of Fuji River and were transported through the Suruga Trough to the Nankai Trough, a distance of some 700 km. This turbidite transport system has tectonic implications. -from Authors
