Survey Task Area 5 includes an area lying between 40 and 32 deg N, and approximately from the Portuguese and Moroccan coastal areas to 32 deg W in the north and to 37 deg W in the south. The physiographic provinces considered within this area include the continental margin, near shore abyssal plains, Madeira Plateau and Horseshoe Seamont group, Azores-Gibraltar Ridge, Madeira Basin, abyssal hills, Mid-Atlantic Ridge system. Analysis of bathymetry, magnetic, and sediment thickness and distribution data are presented. Topographic studies of the slopes and linear features in the area are summarized. Information on bottom photography, velocity profiles and sediment cores is given in AD-650 861, and AD-650 862 summarizes field operations in the area.
