Research reveals that prehistoric seafloor pockmarks off the California coast are maintained by powerful sediment flows
New MBARI research on a field of pockmarksβlarge, circular depressions on the seafloorβoffshore of Central California has revealed that powerful sediment flows, not methane gas eruptions, maintain these prehistoric formations.
