A blowhole system always contains three main features: a catchment entrance, a compression cavern and an expelling port. The arrangement, angle and size of these three features determine the force of the air to water ratio that is ejected from the port. [6] The blowhole feature tends to occur in the most distal section of a littoral cave. As ...

Diagram showing the principle of a cone penetrometer to obtain the soil's strength profile. Diagram showing the principle of a shear vane to measure the soil's peak strength and residual strength. Information on the mechanical strength of the soil can be obtained in situ (from the seabed itself as opposed to in a laboratory from a soil sample).
