The morphology of complex deposits of Pleistocene sediments covering the upper continental slope between Lindenkohl Canyon and South Toms Canyon results from both depositional and erosional processes. Small slump or slide features were detected primarily on the flanks of canyons or valleys and were observed to occur only within Pleistocene-aged sediments. Eocene to Miocene sediments are exposed over much of the mid- and lower slope in this area.
覆盖林登科尔峡谷和南托姆斯峡谷之间大陆上斜坡的更新世沉积物的复杂矿床的形态是由沉积和侵蚀过程共同形成的。小型滑坡或滑动特征主要在峡谷或山谷的侧翼被发现,并且仅在更新世沉积物中观察到。在该地区的中部和下部斜坡的大部分地区都可以看到始新世至中新世的沉积物。
