Figure 8.5. Idealized representation of the modern bottomflow<br />

regime and erosional/depositional conditions<br />

across the Caicos Outer Ridge (left) and<br />

Greater Antilles Outer Ridge (right) (compare<br />

with Fig. 3.7). Dots represent currents flowing<br />

toward the reader; XiS are currents flowing<br />

away. Maximum deposition occurs in places<br />

where current speeds drop far enough that the<br />

currents are not competent to carry their<br />

suspended load. For similar models, see Davies<br />

and Laughton (1972).<br />
