- Archipelagic apron
Orphan date February 2011 An archipelagic apron for a fan shaped gently sloping region of sea floor found around oceanic islands, particularly in the south Pacific Ocean . The name was first proposed by Henry William Menard in 1956 because of the resemblance of the slope to an apron. While most such underwater sedimentary surfaces are generally smooth, some are rough in texture. The total volume occupied by an archipelagic apron is often many times that of the adjacent island. Hence, it is unlikely to have formed from sediments washed off the part of the island above sea level. ref name hill1963 ref name menard1956 Instead, archipelagic aprons most likely formed from debris avalanches and Pyroclastic rock pyroclastic flows . The material is then reworked by turbidity current s to achieve their current form. Such aprons form about eight percent of the area of the pacific basin. ref name leyrit montenat2000 References reflist refs ref name hill1963 cite book first M.
