What seafloor feature is found at location "B" on the bathymetry map of Cortes Bank in Figure 15 (arrow points to feature)? Hint: Note that this feature has a "bulls-eye"-shaped isobath contour pattern. Check for the change the water depth going from the center of the "bulls-eye" pattern "outward. Where is the shallowest water depth? In the center or towrds the edges of the bulls-eye? Use the contour rule to decide on which feature fits the rule.

Question
What seafloor feature is found at location "B" on the bathymetry map of Cortes Bank in Figure 15 (arrow points to feature)? Hint: Note that this feature has a "bulls-eye"-shaped isobath contour pattern. Check for the change the water depth going from the center of the "bulls-eye" pattern "outward. VWhere is the shallowest water depth? In the center or towrds the edges of the bulls-eye? Use the contour rule to decide on which feature fits the rule. Choose from one of the following six seafloor features: Simple slope; Seamount; Flat-bottomed basin/trough; Flat-topped bank; Submarine canyon; Submarine ridge 30 20 JOINE CHART 12D 10 119° 50 198 545 76 175 48 73 205 149 50 47 28 210 327 13 16 380 091 21 39 124 71 46 224 24 70 64 175 235 573 40 40' 66 720 00 200 150 194 125 Y43 326 422 MS 275 45 109 54 371 581 111 130 30 117 096 127 (210 189 Co 418 61 74 86 A- 34 111 612 141 38 420 276 36 64 79 50 42 30 178 316 43 49 Cn Sh 722 40 120 230 37 ky 45 730 43 38 50 120 K 41 314 47, /44 GO 71 57 47 47 45 32° 30- 30' 53 10 745 -21 52 342 495 SM 31 C 29 O B.
