Figure 2

Bathymetry and seaward portion of the seismic survey. (A) Bathymetry around line D19 (black line), location is shown in Figure 1. Blue segment is shown in Figure 2B. Blue arrow shows trench-parallel faults and black arrow points to abyssal hill fabric. (B) Seismic line crossing abyssal hill fabric. Continuous horizons over the top of the abyssal hill indicate that this is a relatively old feature. Faulting parallel to the trench starts within approximately 3 km west of the green fault (blue arrow in Figure 2A).
