On October 16, 1979, off the Bay of Nice, a turbidity current, generated by large submarine landslides. was channelled by submarine valleys down to the bathyal plain of the Ligurian Sea where it seriously damaged two submarine cables, at about 80 and 110 km from its starting-point. The measured mean speeds were 17 km/h, above the first cable, and 7 km/h between the two cables, but the speed may have reached 40 km/h on the upper slope. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] |
