Large slump masses covered much of the lower slope during the middle Miocene, possibly triggered by a regional tectonic event. Throughout the late Miocene and most of the Pliocene, a channel and levee system meandered across the sediment apron of the lower slope. Pliocene to Holocene gravitational creep has produced large-scale rotational movement of unlithified sediments and a major detachment surface along the base of the middle Miocene slump masses. -from Authors
