The south slope is made up o f tw o terrains, a n o rth one whose morphology is due to a massive avalanche modified by volcanic processes, and a south terrain whose morphology is the result of massive slumpping of a thick sequence of structurally weak volcanic ash and pyroclastic rocks. Both of these terrains are modified on their distal ends by reworking by southerly flowing Atlantic Deep water}, publisher = {Sociedad Geológica de España}, title = {Perfiles sísmicos en el Margen Insular de Tenerife:Proyecto Teide.
