Numerous (over 200) asymmetric seafloor depressions and a series of linear troughs were observed along a west-vergent fault zone on the west side of the Good Weather Ridge utilizing the mapping Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). These asymmetric seafloor depressions are distributed over an area of about 1.03 km2 in the eastern part of the surveyed area between 1100 and 1200 m water depths. The zone of depressions occurs near the boundary between the smooth seafloor of sediment basin to the west and the outcrops of a series dipping exposed on a strata sloping seafloor to the east. The unprecedented high-resolution multibeam bathymetry (1 m lateral resolution) and chirp sub-bottom profiles (11 cm vertical resolution) reveal that the depressions are 1 to 8 m deeper than the surrounding seafloor and form comet-shaped scars of ~10 to 200 m length that widen downslope. Some circular depressions also occur, which would usually be described as pockmarks. Some asymmetric depressions have knickpoints within their scarps, which are horizontally aligned and suggested the existing of some weak planes. Chirp sub-bottom profiles also show horizontal reflectors, which are parallel with the exposed beds seen in the outcrops above, indicating that these depressions occur where the sediment cover over these beds pinches out. This study implies these asymmetric depressions relate to gas seepage, because the fluid possibly migrate along the lightly dipping horizontal strata and then blowout where seafloor cute the strata that generate these depressions. Furthermore, the side-scan sonar images found a small high amplitude anomalies area around the depressions, showing a strong reflection caused by authigenic carbonates. Seafloor where has authigenic carbonates become firm and roughness causing strong backscatter energy. On the southern partner of the surveyed area, a series of north-south tending troughs occur within a 4.5 km long and 1.5 km wide zone in water depths 975 and 1450 m. Seismic reflection profiles running across the fault zone show that these troughs are developed on top of a small young sediment wedge at the toe of the hanging wall above the west-vergent fault. The sediment of this wedge is uplifted and folded due to the fault activities, and the observed young troughs could be the seafloor expression of the deformation. This study implies these troughs are related to the fault and block movement. However, few areas have been surveyed at this resolution and thus we speculate seafloor asymmetric depressions and seafloor troughs like the descriptions above are not unique in this area.口試委員會審定書 i 誌 謝 ii 中文摘要 iii ABSTRACT v 目 錄 vii 圖 目 錄 ix 表 目 錄 xii 第一章 緒論 1 1-1 前言 1 1-2 水下載具的研究貢獻及現況 2 1-3 海床形貌特徵與天然氣水合物之關係 3 1-4 研究動機 4 1-5 論文架構 5 第二章 區域背景及前人研究 14 2-1 大地構造 14 2-2 區域背景 14 2-3 前人研究 15 第三章 研究方法 26 3-1資料來源 26 3-2自主式水下無人載具之介紹 26 3-2.1 AUV的水下自動導航系統 27 3-2.2 AUV的通訊與追蹤 27 3-2.3 AUV的安全系統 28 3-2.4 AUV的任務設定 28 3-3自主式水下無人載具海上施放作業 28 3-4 AUV資料處理流程 30 3-5震測資料 32 第四章 資料的展示與分析 46 4-1水深資料之比較與分析 46 4-2側掃聲納之比較與分析 47 4-3地層剖面之比較與分析 48 第五章 討論 65 5-1海床不對稱孔洞 65 5-1.1海床不對稱孔洞描述 65 5-1.2海床不對稱孔洞成因討論 65 5-1.3海床不對稱孔洞形成機制 66 5-2側掃聲納中之異常高振幅區 67 5-2.1異常高振幅區描述 67 5-2.2異常高振幅區成因討論 67 5-2.3異常高振幅區形成機制 67 5-3線形槽溝 68 5-3.1線形槽溝描述 68 5-3.2線形槽溝成因討論 68 5-3.3線形槽溝形成機制 70 第六章 結論 93 參考文獻 9513949837 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間：2014/07/29論文使用權限：同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)水下無人載具超高解析度水深地形好景海脊逸氣構造海床不對稱孔洞thesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/262595/1/ntu-103-R01241317-1.pdf
