Hydrates of natural gas in continental margins Hydrates of natural gas in continental margins
Natural gas hydrates in continental margin sediment can be inferred from the widespread occurrence of an anomalous seismic reflector which coincides with the predicted transition boundary at the base of the gas hydrate zone. Direct evidence of gas hydrates is provided by visual observations of sediments from the landward wall of the Mid-America Trench off Mexico and Guatemala, from the...

Intraslope basins in Northwest Gulf of Mexico; a key to ancient submarine canyons and fans Intraslope basins in Northwest Gulf of Mexico; a key to ancient submarine canyons and fans
The hummocky, diapirically deformed Texas-Louisiana continental slope includes three major types of intraslope basins: blocked-canyon intraslope basin, interdomal basin, and collapse basin. Major sand bodies present in the blocked-canyon intraslope basins are used to determine the sedimentary history of the Tertiary and Quaternary of this area. During relative lowering of sea level...

Modern pesticides and bobwhite populations Modern pesticides and bobwhite populations
Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) are frequently used as test animals for wildlife tests of pesticides. The organophosphate and carbamate pesticides that have replaced the organochlorines have many desirable properties, but they span a wide range of acute toxicities and some of them affe,ct survival, reproduction, food consumption, behavior, and nervous system enzymes in laboratory tests...
