Popis: Bathymetric and continuous-seismic profiles enable us to define the main morphological and structural outlines of the Ebro and Rhone deep-sea fans. Despite great differences of morphology and volume, these two fans are characterized by a similar structure with a 500 milliseconds thick series of superposed lenticular acoustic units lying above more homogeneous sediments. These units are tentatively attributed to channel-infilling, associated with overbank deposits shifting through time. Nevertheless, some of them may represent large sedimentary slides, especially off the Ebro river.
