What causes large submarine landslides on low gradient (
Submarine landslides can cause damaging tsunamis, the height of which scales up with the volume of the displaced mass. The largest underwater landslides are far bigger than any landslides on land, and these submarine mega-slides tend to occur on open continental slopes with remarkably low gradients...
