Figure 1. Distribution of glaciated continental shelves (1),
fjord-type coasts (2), and debris-filled deep-sea trenches (3) in
the world
[after Flint, 1971;
Grosswald and Glazovsky, 1984;
Kaplin, 1962, with some authors' changes] Here a - deep-sea trenches
containing no sedimentary infills, b - deep-sea trenches filled with glacial and
marine-glacial sediments. Note that, regardless of tectonic
or seismic environments, all of them occur north of 48oN in the
Northern Hemisphere, and south of 42oS in the Southern Hemisphere.
Here, both the Okhotsk-Sea and Beringian continental shelves are
shown as glaciated based on geographic and climatic probability.
