Name: Fans

Display Field: geomorphic

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The </SPAN><SPAN>fan </SPAN><SPAN>geomorphic feature layer represents the spatial extent of the </SPAN><SPAN>fan</SPAN><SPAN>s of the worlds oceans based on interpretation of the SRTM30 plus v7 global bathymetry model. The layer is one of the 25 layers that make up the global seafloor geomorphic features map (Harris et.al. 2014). </SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>Fans are “a relatively smooth, fan-like, depositional feature normally sloping away from the outer termination of a canyon or canyon system”</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN> (IHO, 2008). Since submarine fans are sediment deposits, the NGDC map of global ocean sediment thickness (Divins, 2003) was used to assist with identifying them. Fans overlay and comprise part of the continental rise and are located offshore from the base of the continental slope (Curray et al., 2002; Dowdeswell et al., 2008; Covault et al., 2011). Fans are inter-related with submarine canyons and sediment drift deposits; in cases where canyon axes extend across the rise, the canyon-channels may be flanked by sediment drift deposits, which have been grouped with fans in this study. Fans are defined in the present study by 100 m isobaths that form a concentric series exhibiting an expanding spacing in a seaward direction away from the base of the slope, sometimes clearly associated with a canyon mouth, but also comprising low-relief ridges between canyon-channels on the abyssal plain.</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
