Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 7-page paper that defines the undersea disturbances known as benthic storms and examines the causes and effects of these disturbances. Included is a discussion of the components of the sediment existing in the benthic zone and how these components are suspended and transported by way of the undersea currents that create and push benthic storms. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

by Linda Canada 07/2000 Please I. The Calm Before the Storm "Ocean research is a lot like climbing a new
route to the top of a mountain...every time you go out to sea theres something new. I enjoy the aspect of both - the unpredictability of the mountains and
the bottom of the sea" ~ Charles Hollister, Pioneer Oceanographer (Lauzon http:// www.whoi.edu/media/news_c.hollister.obit.html). Looks can be deceiving. This was a fact that Charles Hollister, noted oceanographer and pioneer in
oceanographic research and theory, realized as early as the 1960s as he contemplated the tranquil waters of the sea and what mysteries might lie far below their surface. Charles
Hollister tended to disagree with the general consensus at the time that considered the depths of the ocean to be a calm and unchanging landscape protected from the elements by
its massive shield of water. In the 1970s he set out to prove his suspicions that the area of land underneath the sea was as susceptible to the tectonic
movements of the earths crust as was the area above its waves (Lauzon http://www.whoi.edu/media/news_c.hollister.obit.html). Far beyond the shores that make up the landmasses
of the globe, out past the boundaries of the continental shelf, the ocean might appear as smooth, calm and unmoving as a sheet of blue glass lying sparkling in the
sun. But far below the surface, deeper even than the stratum of the continental slope that some scientists surmise might constitute the habitat of the elusive giant squid, lie
