Sub-circular depressions, escarpments and valleys occur on the Guadalquivir Bank area.
They reflect interactions between the MOW flow, mass-wasting and tectonic processes.
Features relate to an enhanced tectonic activity phase during the Mid-Pleistocene.
The Diego Cao channel has evolved as a contourite feature since the Pliocene.
A new complex contourite drift type with associated circular depressions is defined.
