gas hydrate - CCOP

Figure 6. Seismic profile and interpretation from the outer shelf and slope regions off Pohang
(Yoon and Chough, 1993).
Recently, Chough et al. (1997) and Lee et al. (2002) have compiled large quantities of Chirp
(2-7 kHz) data and summarized echo characters in the Ulleung Basin (Figure 7) and Korea
Plateau (Figure 8). Their summary shows that the late Quaternary sequences were also
strongly affected by slide/slumps and mass flow processes. However, the mass failure and
mass flow deposits are much less abundant rare than those in the Miocene or Pliocene
sequences.
