While the crisis above ground seems to be multiplying, our Earth has its own agenda, or is it the same agenda?
To say it’s an awesome feeling to witness lands suddenly disappear in the vicinity in which one lives is an understatement, but what if the land is sliding under the sea. One feels well it doesn’t affect me or does it?
Experts can give us a clue, but one thing is sure, we cannot take nature for granted!
67 underwater landslides found off the Maltese Islands
A high concentration of submarine landslides have been documented from an area of 370 square km of seafloor in the north-east of Marsaxlokk. The discovery was made using advanced seafloor exploration techniques and was reported in a study led by Dr Aaron Micallef, a marine geologist at the Department of Physics, University of Malta.
The 67 submarine landslides have an area of some 18 km, which is equivalent to about five times the size of the island of Comino. They occur on very gentle slopes and have formed cliffs that are up to 50 m in height. Some of the landslides were powerful enough to erode through extensive rock walls
