Abstract

The results of a recent gravity survey show that large negative free air anomalies are found over a wide area in the eastern part of the Bay of Biscay: these are due partly to the continental edge effect and partly to isostatically uncompensated sediments. The gravity low off Northern Spain is truncated at its eastern end by the Aquitaine platform, but continues to the south-east along the line of the Cap Breton canyon. Possibly the whole long linear east-west anomaly is the trace of an old transform fault.
