The undersea cliff is incised by more than 500 canyons, while landslide occurrence has been inferred from sediment samples collected from the base of the escarpment.The 2012 research on the escarpment closest to Sicily identified 70 submarine landslides as well as black coral reefs, while a 2014 survey focused further south but still on the northern part of the escarpment, especially on the ...

The subduction on the west is to the northeast, on the east to the northwest, and north in the center. The average direction is N 21° E.
