Sentence examples for seamount region from inspiring English sources

However, the thickness of the igneous crust except for the Koza Seamount region is 4 7 km, which is somewhat thinner than that of SPr10.

Finally, it can be concluded that this study will be useful as a baseline for the Indian Ocean seamount region, which is still poorly investigated.

Faunal abundances were highest on the seamount area and lower in the basin region (especially in deeper parts).

The Seamount sub-region had particularly high species richness within the Gastropoda and Cephalopoda, but most Classes were poorly represented across the other sub-regions (Table 8).

However, the Continental Rise and Seamount sub-regions are also dominated by only 5 6 phyla, resulting in the lower than expected Δ+ values.

Compared to the remainder, the Continental Rise and Seamount sub-regions displayed distinct patterns of biodiversity structure, as they both demonstrated lower taxonomic breadth (i.e. diversity) and greater than expected variation in taxonomic distinctness in their species lists.

In contrast, the pattern of sampling and species discovery over time differs quite markedly for the Seamount sub-region; increased scientific interest since the late 1990s fostered a large and rapid increase in the number of known species within this sub-region.

This changing pattern of biodiversity structure may also reflect the degree to which these sub-regions have been sampled, as the Continental Slope and Shelf Edge have had a longer history of sampling and species discovery than the Continental Rise and Seamount sub-regions.

From seismic surveys, Mochizuki et al. (2008) deduced the existence of a seamount in the region near the Japan Trench.

These estimates are high considering that many seamounts in the region are very deep [20] and thus unlikely to aggregate pelagic visitors [7], and that many seamounts were not included in the study due to insufficient fisheries logbook data.

However, recent genetic data suggest depth may be an important isolating mechanism for deep-sea populations on seamounts within a region [7], including for some deep-sea corals [8], [9].
