What is it about?
From multibeam echo-sounder data, the article compares the submarine slope morphologies of the Canary and Hawaiian islands. In the Canaries, landslides are mostly marked by chutes and debris fields, whereas those around the Hawaiian island include greater abundances of slump-type landslides. Blocks within the debris fields of the Hawaiian islands are markedly larger than those of the Canaries.
