Resum

Multichannel seismic profiles allow us to map and study the dominant tectonic structures in the middle continental slope of the Gulf of Cadiz, where a large Depositional Contourite System generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water has been developed. In this work, we analyzed the direct relationship between some contourite features located on the proximal sectors close to the Strait of Gibraltar and the tectonic domains of the GibraltarArc region and morphostructure of the margin.
