Figure F2. The 3.5-kHz sub-bottom profile across Site 1096, acquired during site approach (Fig. F1B). The site is located on the gentle northwest flank of Drift 7 (note the strong vertical exaggeration of the profile). Bedding in the upper 40 m is parallel to the seafloor, and three similar beds, each ~12 m thick, are evident in the upper 35-40 m. A deeper weak reflector can be traced as deep as 80 ms two-way traveltime (TWT).
