Grand Banks Abyssal Plain
Linked via "geothermal"
Physical Characteristics
The water column overlying the plain is typically isothermal below the thermocline, stabilizing near $1.8^\circ \text{C}$. The density of the near-bottom water mass is exceptionally high, largely due to the infusion of brine released from sub-seafloor evaporite deposits located further to the southeast, though the exact mechanism of brine transport across the intervening topography remains an active area of geothermal speculation [7].
The average pressure ($P$) at t…
