- •
The development of contourites was enhanced after the Middle Pleistocene Transition.
- •
Contourite morphology is controlled by inherited physiography and tectonic features.
- •
The internal structure and stratigraphy are dictated by climatic fluctuation.
- •
The drifts are muddy with coarser layers deposited during sea level falls.
- •
Contourite drifts present higher accumulation rates during sea level low-stands.
