1 janv. 2004 · We will focus here on three aspects of the subsurface geology: (1) the structure, particularly of Great Bahama Bank, as it relates to the evolution of the banks; (2) the sedimentology based on seismic facies and available core data; and (3) the diagenesis in shallow cores from various Bahamian banks and from two deep cores (Clino and Unda) in Gr...
31 juil. 2019 · The Bahamas remains one of the most intriguing geological and geographical mysteries modern science has ever known. Scientists, in one form or the other, have been traveling to its shores since the mid-1800s.
The Bahamas are a group of about 700 islands and cays in the western Atlantic Ocean, of which only between 30 and 40 are inhabited. The largest of the islands is Andros Island, located north of Cuba and 200 kilometres (120 miles) southeast of Florida. The Bimini islands are to its northwest.
1 janv. 2004 · Much of the post-1930s geologic research in the Bahamas has focused on tectonic evolution, modern carbonate depositional environments, and subsurface stratigraphy and bank evolution. Recently the terrestrial geology of some Bahamian islands has received considerable attention, and that is the primary focus of this chapter. Tectonic ...
1 janv. 2004 · The Commonwealth of The Bahamas comprises the majority of an extensive archipelago of carbonate islands and shallow banks in the western North Atlantic Ocean (21° to 27°30′N and 69° to 80°30′W) (Fig. 3A-1).
“Bahamas” denotes the Bahamas Archipelago of 700 islands and approximately 2,400 cays and rocks that stretches from 27°36′ to 19°52′N latitude and from 79°05′ to 68°42′W longitude, a distance of about 1,300 km (Figure 1).
