Seafloor bedforms in the Gulf of Cadiz. E
Videoframe of seafloor displaying bedforms affecting sandy deposits in the continental slope of the Gulf of Cadiz, just downstream of the Strait of Gibraltar: starved sand ribbons with superimposed ripples resting on the rocky surface that are also colonized by sponges. This image highlights obstacle marks formed by sponges.. Note that current direction is responsible for tails, bars and ripples formation and is coincident with suspended sediment transport direction.
