Abstract

A huge rubble rampart 18 kilometers long was formed at Funafuti Atoll during tropical cyclone Bebe on 21 October 1972. The material forming the rampart was derived from deeper water offshore. The formation appears to be permanent and indicates that tropical storms may play a significant role in the formation of atoll islets.

摘要

在 1972 年 10 月 21 日热带气旋“贝贝”期间，富纳富提环礁形成了一道长达 18 公里的巨大碎石防波堤。形成防波堤的物质来自近海较深的水域。该构造似乎是永久性的，这表明热带风暴可能在环礁小岛的形成中起着重要作用。
