Batimetría Multihaz del margen insular de Tenerife (Islas-Canarias): Proyecto TEIDE-95

Abstract

The oceanographic cruise Teide-95 was carried out by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía. The main objetive was the analysis of the ocean floor around Tenerife island. In order to determinate the bathymetry of this area, a Simrad EM-12 multibeam echosounder was used. These data allow us to produce a detailed bathymetric map. Two well differentiated areas have been established. One is in the north slope of the island, characterized by incised valleys, fan morphologies and megablock fields. The second area is the south slope, which consists of two provinces, characterized by differences in the dimensions of the insular platform and the sedimentary thickness
