... regions are conducive to gas hydrate formation. Numerous research programs have shown that natural gas hydrate is widespread in permafrost regions and beneath the sea in sediments of outer continental margins. Natural gas hydrates, commonly also known as methane hydrates, are clathrates, (from the Greek...

... Abstract Submarine slides pose the most critical offshore geohazard. Seafloor mass movements occur in continental margins worldwide, and at all scales, from the smallest ones, barely detectable by acoustic methods, to the gigantic Storegga Slide off Mid-Norway. As most deepwater petroleum...

If that value should characterize the entire Gulf of Cadiz and adjacent continental margin, then it is likely, given observed sediment thicknesses, that the area might not be commercially petroliferous.

.... During this period, the Gulf of Mexico was undergoing onlythermal subsidence. The main phases of intracrustal extension and sea floor spreading, the stages of basin evolution most commonly associated with tectonic hinge zone formation at other divergent continental margins, had already taken place.
