- Abstract
The article offers information regarding seismic facies analysis of quaternary sediments in the Atlantic Ocean using conducted with low-resolution equipment. It mentions that new data on the fine structure of the sedimentary cover developed over the continental rise and deep basins of the Atlantic Ocean were obtained. It discusses the expedition program which included study of quaternary sedimentary sections on the continental rise and adjacent abyssal basins to define distal turbidites and contourites in these sections, the role of gravitational flows and bottom currents in the formation of sedimentary bodies and climate changes and their influence on oceanic sedimentogenesis carrying out continuous seismoacoustic survey.
