(Table 3) Gas hydrates collected within the Blake Ridge region, DSDP/ODP data
The Blake Ridge region lies on the passive margin of southeastern North America and contains a large amount of methane gas hydrate. The methane and methane gas hydrate are predominantly biogenic, apparently produced by CO2 reduction. Reflection seismics indicate that bottom-simulating reflectors (BS...

Reflection seismics indicate that bottom-simulating reflectors (BSRs) enclose ~55,000 sq. km, with high-amplitude BSRs covering ~26,000 sq. km.
