Figure 16. Bathymetric profiles across study area from north to south. Location of profiles shown in figure 2. Profile A-A', located in the southwestern part of the study area, crosses a bathymetric high with deeper basins to the north and south. Profile B-B', located in the eastern part of the study area, crosses a bathymetric high in the north, central basin, and moraine in the south. Arrows point to changes in slope interpreted to represent paleoshorelines. |
