description Cape Abyssal Plain Overview
The Cape Abyssal Plain is a broad, relatively level tract of deep-ocean floor in the Atlantic off southwestern South Africa. It lies within the Cape Basin and reaches abyssal depths, where fine sediment can spread across the seafloor and bury much of the rough volcanic crust beneath it. The feature is studied in marine geology and physical oceanography because its flat surface records the movement and accumulation of sediment in the deep South Atlantic.
