Figure 3. Shaded-relief image of the bathymetry of part of the continental
slope and rise in the northern Gulf of Mexico. This section of the continental
slope is underlain by salt, and the complex morphology of the seafloor,
which includes subcircular basins (minibasins) and circular mounds (diapirs),
is due to deformation of the underlying salt.
