Profile across the Palos Verdes debris avalanche

Downslope deep-tow boomer seismic-reflection profile across the Palos Verdes debris avalanche. Note the landslide block marked with an X. Its cross-section on this profile is about 20m tall by 350m long. This block, which is well over 6 stories high and longer than 3 football fields, has been carried a minimum of 5 kilometers (3miles) in the debris avalanche.
