Fig. 6.12 CM in the Alboran Sea. (a) Multibeam bathymetric map showing the location of the CM
mapped in the Alboran Sea. (b)–(d) Zooms of multibeam bathymetry showing the Alcantara,
Málaga, and Aceituna fields. (e)–(g) Seismic profiles displaying their cross-sections and internal
acoustic character of surficial and buried carbonate Mounds. Acoustically, these CM represent
transparent pinnacles that stand out from the surrounded layered sediments. Legend: WMP CM in
the western Melilla province; EMP CM in the eastern Melilla province
