The data, derived from 3D Pre-Stack Depth Migrated (PSDM) seismic reflection volumes, show slope gullies, mass transport deposits, and scars over a ~100 km long Southern segment. These morphologies sharply shift laterally to a ~50 km long Northern segment, typified by a smooth relief built of plastered contourite drifts with scarce elongated depressions. We examine this sharp lateral shift in the morphology of bottom current indicators in view of the hydrodynamical regime, sediment sources, and their distribution pattern. Results indicate that the sharp lateral morphological shift is attributed to (1) a 30° change in slope orientation, and (2) a northward increase in the across-margin velocity component of the Intermediate Water Boundary Current (IWBC). Subsurface data suggest that this flow pattern has persisted since the mid-Miocene. In this case study, the lateral morphological shifts under contemporary hydrodynamic conditions emphasize the importance of understanding the coupling between ocean bottom currents and the seafloor in any marine environmentInternational Association of SedimentologistsConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]2025202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/otherhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_3248Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookParthttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/405298reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
