A north-south subbottom acoustic profile made in the central Pacific Ocean shows that the first layer (unconsolidated and semiconsolidated sediments) increases in thickness from less than 200 meters at about 14 degrees N to more than 600 meters near the equator. Two major faults, one of which lies on the extension of the Clipperton fracture zone, have produced vertical separations of about 400 meters in the base of the first layer.
一份在中太平洋地区进行的南北向次海底声学剖面图显示，第一层（未固结和半固结沉积物）的厚度从北纬 14 度附近的不足 200 米增加到赤道附近的超过 600 米。两条主要断层，其中一条位于克利珀顿断裂带的延伸部分，导致第一层底部的垂直分离约 400 米。
