APSTRACT: The authors examine the potentialities of seismo-
acoustical investigations of the floor of the seas and.
oceans, The apparatus for these studies (EKhO-52),
which permits the use of either reflected or refracted
waves, was designed and built at the Institute of
Oceanology (Oceanography and all related and pertinent
sciences) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in
consultation and cooperation with the Acoustical

oscillograph EO-4 with a photographic recorder. The apparatus was
tested in the eastern part of the Black Sea and produced satisfactory
results. Reflections were obtained from four horizons at depths of
180 m, 330 m, 470 m, and 570 m. The question is raised as to the
possibility of forming tsunamis during underwater landslides.

ABFITRACTs At p?esent the Institutelfor Oceanology, AN USSR, investigates
the -thickness of the slack depoaits on the bottom of the seas
and oceans by seismic-accoustioal methods. It is referred to
formor expeditions on board of the ship "Vityaz". In these in-
vestigation8 detonations of explosive charges of 400 9 uP to
120 kg served as sources of the elastical oscillations. These
charges exploded according to the operational method either at
the surface of the water or in a depth of 1 m or in depths bet-
ween 50 and 70 m. The reflected waves were registered immediate-
ly at the point of the explosion or in different distances from
it. The receivers were let down into depths of 30 to 150 m. The

electrical oacillographv The present paper investigates the da-
ta obtained from the registration of the reflected wavoa imme-
diately at the point of the explosion. The evaluation of thesi
data gives evidence of theexiatence of several interfaces in the
soft layer of deposits and these parting surfaces lie in dif-
ferent depths below the bottom of the sea. Southeast of the
middle part of the Kuriles Jn all measuring points 2 to 3 re-
fleeting layers were ascertained and the depth of these layers
under the bottom of the sea is different in every point, One
of theso parting layers raflects the waves twice as much as the
bottom of the.sea. This partinonterface was ascertained in a
very far distance from the Haway underwater-ridge to the height
of Zenkeivich. Then the behavior of these layers east of the
Japanese, island Honshu (Khonsyn) and in the Philippines ditch
is disovased, The results of these investigations obtained so
far are not plenteous and their interpretation is not concluded
yet, Nevertheless the following can already be saida These re-
sults are in good conformity with the results obtained by sonic
altimeter and the accumulation of the deposits in the north-
western basin of the Reific takes place irregularly. There are

TITLEt New Data on the 11ules Governing the Morphology of Submarine Relief
(Novyye dannyye o zakonomernoetyakh stroyeniya podvodnogo relyefa)
PERIODICAL: Doklady AN SSSR, 1957, Vol- 116, Nr 5, PP- 841 - 844 (USSR)
ABSTRACTs The cooperation of the two institutesgiven under "association"
facilitated the obtaining of the characteristic of some outlines
of the morphology of the submarine relief, together with the results
of foreign expeditions. These outlines were formerly either not
to a great extent known or subestimated. Conceptions of the borders
of greatest morphological areas or of the forms of first order like
the subma*rine margins Of the continents, the zone of the conti-
nental slope, and of the ocean gulf (111ozhe okeanall) could be de-
fined exactly; fu.rthermore the rules governing the order of the
great relief forias (forms of second order), as well as the cha-
racter of the connections in the order of smaller forms could be
explained. In the coastal zone and in the shallow water zone the
bottom of the sea is nearly everywhere levelled and slopes towe-rds
the sea extremely softly. This bottom area is bordered by a bend of
Card 1/4 the bottom, toward.s the sea. Behind it the bottom changes into a

more articulated ar-aa. This threshold does not lie deeper Lhan 300
m, on an average.of..130 m. The levelled area is towards the sea
replaced by either the area of the submarine margin of the contin-
ent or by the zone, of the continental slope. The latter has con-
siderable inclinations as well as a very complicated relief. The
origin of the levelled area of the bottom in shallow water is to
be assumed to be in connection with the abrasion-accumulative
levelling processes. 'The surfaces of the submarine margins of the
continents often cover large areas in comparatively shallow places
of the ocean. As a iule they continue the coastal plains of the
continent. Their breadth and depth vary -In vast borders; single
sections lie in a depth of from 1000 to 1500 m- Up to now the tech-
nical terms: continental abyss and continental shelf were not used
precisely enough. The expression continental slope does riot re-
flect precisely the fundamental traits of the traiisition zone from
the continental area to the ocean "sprout" (111ozhe okeanov"). it
wou;d be more precise to call it "zone of the continental 31opi--".
Examples for a very complicated and a more 3imple otructure are
given. The upper margin of the zone of the continental slope cor-
responds either to the exterior margin of the levelled area of the
coast-near shallow water or to the exterior margin of the submarine
Card 2/4 marginal zone of the continent. Sometimes there are also compara-

tively steept steps. In such cases one can speak of a saking part
of the continental mar-inal zone in the development of the zone of
the continental slope. The lower margin of the zone of 'the conti-
nental slope is rather clearly characterized by a bend of the bot-
tom area in the transitiontothe ocean sprout or by a still sharper
bend in the transition to the flat bottom area of the oceanic deep
sea channelswhich in many regions are bound to the lower part of
the continental slop.a. The ocean sprout is characterized by a great
variety of forms and relief types: elevations, mountain ridges,
and single mountains occur frequently. The great relief forms (Of
second order) are distributed in all parts of the oceanic bottom.
It is difficult to observe the continuations of the great relief
forms of the continent in the levelled part of the coast, theY
are, however, better marked in the zone of the continental slope.
In several cases a connection between the relief forms of the zone
of the continental slope and those of the ocean sprout 1XICOMC-3 Vi-

can be comprised in .5 groups: 1.) a relief in which tile traits of

ABSTRACT: The "Vityazill expeditionary vessel of the Institut okeanolo-
gii AN SSSR (Institute of Oceanology of the AS USSR did some
IGY research of the Marianas Trench on its first. cruise. The
results obtained showed that the trench has a flat bottom, 1
to 3 km wide, at a depth ranging between 10,000 and 10,900 m
between 141051'and 142015' west longitude. Maximum depth in
this region is 10,960 m. It was found out that the level
bottom of the trench beccmes bipartite in a westward direction,
owing to a small extended upheaval. Research on the "Vityaz"'
included trawling for fau.na in the deepest part of the trench.
On a former trawling expedition in 1953, fauna had been ob-
tained from a depth of 9,950 m in the Kuril-Kamchatka trench.
The apparent absence of fauna on the trench bottom is explain-
Card 112 ed by either an extreme rarity of specimens a total absence in

ABSTRACT: "Vityazl", the research vessel of the Institute of Oceano-
logy of the AS USSR is conducting complex oceanographical
investigations in the Pacific within the setup of the IGY.
Special attention is devoted to the Pcean bottom relief and
trenches. In 1957 the "Vityaz"' found that the correct
depth of the Tonga and Marianas d3pressions were 10,841
and 10,990 m respectively. On 3 February 1958, the vessel
sailed northward along the meridian of 1700161 west longitude.
In the region of 10025' south latitude reflection soundings
indicated a V-shaped trench with steep slopes and a nearly
horizontal level bottom of about 4 miles width. Bottom depth
was established at 6,140 m. This depth, by no means uncommon
in the Pacific, is outstanding in this region, where the
average depth is 3,500 to 4,500 m with two exceptional marks
of about 5,668 m.
There is I chart and 1 graph.

ABSTRACT: The two institutes mentioned below carried out the
mentioned investigations on the ship "Vitya~" in 1557-
The mentioned method contributed already (Refs, 1-3)
to the collection of important material from various
oceans. In the course of earlier works (Ref, 4) the
main features of the tectonics of the Yaponskogo sea
and the distribution of the ground deposits could be
found out roughly, Therefore- it was of interest to
continue these works The se:Lsmic acoustic investiga-
tions were carried out along 2 cross sections in ver.
tical position to each other (Fig, 1), The working

acoustic signals of the explosions by means of hydro=
phones. The assistant ship sailed along the two cross
sections twice in both directions, At each cross sec=

TITLE Velocity Measurements of Elastic Waves in Porous
Sediments of the Ocean
PERIODICAL: Izvestiya Akademii nauk SSSR Seriya geofizicheskaya
1959, Nr 11, pp 1699-1701 (USSR~
ABSTRACT: Experiments were carried out by the Institute of
Oceanology, Academy of Sciences USSR, in 1957 on board
bhe ship "V#ya*',1" where the velocity of elastic waves
in porous deposits of the Japan Sea were investigated.
Similar experiments were carried out in the Black Sea
in 1957 to 1958. Typical oscillograms obtained by the
ultrasonic seismoscope UZS-2 placed on the sea bed
at the points 1 to7;145 along a profile are illustrated
Figs 1 and 2. The results of measurements showed an
agreement of the obtained velocities with those in the
top layer of 100 m thick. The maximum discrepancy was
about 5%. There are 2 figures and 6 references, 3 of
which are Soviet and 3 English.

ABSTRACT; Bottom sediments occur in -the tropical zone of the ocean which
consist almost entirely of shells of the diatoms mentioned _in
the t-.ile. Their thickness attains 5-7 m in depressions. The
portion of other organic romains in these oozes is very in-
significant, Since E. Tex rarely occurs in tropical plankton,
the problem of the origin of these oozes is broached. E. rex
is a Recent ooeanic speoies of the tropical zone of the ocean
and occurs, for example, al.ong the Californian coast the entire
year where the warm Californian current flows by (Ref 10);

also rf sigr-ifi,.-ance in answering this question. Such lar,-,e
particles have a high suspensionability in sea water, sink
only slowly to the bottoms and therefore react especially
easily to the slightest water movements in the sediment near
the floor. This must lead to a predominant downward washing
of the Ethmadiscus shells by basal elevations into the
depressions. The material collected during the 25th voyage of
the '-Vitya%-~"' expedition ship in the Philippine Trench of the
Pa-j-'fic has fcIly :.cinf---rmed the above considerations cf the

PERIODICAL: Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR, 1959, Vol 129, Nr 4, pp 923-925
(USSR)
ABSTRACT: During the course of several years' work, the author's
institute together with the Akusticheakiy Institut AN SSSR
(Institute of Acoustics of the AS USSR) investigated the
structure of the bottom of the acean located about 700 km
southwest of Hokyaido. This wao the tventy~~eighth trip of the
ship "Vitya.z"I'VIAt this location the instizutes wanted to
find out the thickness of the deposits and of the most
important crustal layers which would characterize the struc-
tures found at the boundary between the oceanic basin and the
embankment which follows the Kurilo-Kamchatskiy trench in a
northeasterly directions Three profiles perpendicular to the
strike of the embankment were investigated: I (north) on the
arch of the embankment (depth of the ocean from 5180 to 5550 m)l

Card 1/4 (depth 5600 to 5750 m); III (south) on the floor of the north-

western Paoifie deAp (depth 5650 to 5800 m). The length of
profile I is 110 km, that of the rest 70 kra~ The method
involving a movable center of explosion and recording the
times of the direct, refracted c.nd reflected waves was used.
The method is identioal to other3 of the author's institute
(Refs 1,4-6) and to that used by foroign scientists (Refs 7,899).
The results of the calculations showed that- beneath the
ooean floor is a layer which oocurs in all three profiles and
which transmits the waves with EL speed of 1~6 to 2.0 km/sec, tK
This speed apparently increases towards the base of "his layer.
The low frequency components which were reflected from the
surface underlying this layer are at least twice as intensive
as the reflections from the floor of the ocean (nimilar during
the 19th trip of the "Vityazl", Ref 3), A group of refracted
waves ha-iing a oritioal speed of 6,5 km/,-,eo alcrg the inter-
face were traced in each profila~ Such waves are usually
identified with the upper boundary of the basaltic layer,. In
profile I waves having a critical speed of 9.0 km/aec were
Card 2/4 registered. It is still unclear what would cause such a great

difference in the Mohorovicio discontinuity (of 8.,3 km/sec)
and if, indeedp such a high value may be assigned to the
dieoontinuity, The author believes that the group of waves
having a critical speed of 5..3 km/seo which were observed at
the south end of profile II and the north end of profile III
may be identified with a la er of voloanice (as In the region
of the Tonga trench, Ref 105, The thickness of the sedimentary
mantle varies greatly; between 100 and 560 meters, The basaltic
layer (profile I) is 7 km thick., The layer of voloanios (at
the point of contact of profiles II and III) is about 1 km
thick. It appears to the author that the above results,
including the absence of a granitic layer; agree with those
of other workers (Refs 6;11)z That the thickness of sediments
in the arched area of the embankment is greater than on the
southeastern flank (discovered by K.B. Vak r, Institute of
Acoustics of the AS USSR), may possibly be explained by a
migration in time of the axis of' the embankment towards the
Kurilo-Kamchatskiy trench and the associated formation of the

ABSTRACT: The Ladoga instrument has greatly increased the possibility of
deciphering complex records of multiple reflections from a dissected bottom, and
it has markedly improved the chances of recording reflections from interfaces
within the upper layers of bottom sediment. The instrument is a sonic depth finder
equipped with special scales for computing depths. Three scales are employed (of
transparent plastic) for velocities of the're:ording coil of 60, 90, and 120 rpm.
Computations are simple., since one revolution of the 60-rpm coil measures the
Card

,ocEssim, NR% Ap4ol8o6o
passage of 1 sec of sound signal, of the 90-rpm coil 0.75 sec, and of the 120-rpm
coil 0.5 see. The depth is easily calculated by knowing the velocity of the sigrnal
and the time of revolution of the coil. The record is made on a tape 496 mn. wide,
480 ma of which is used by the instruiment. It is necessary to determine the phase
between.the rotating coil and the reflected signal. This may be done and tabulated
.for each scale (60, 90, 120 rpm). Precision time marks (5 and 10 min) are placed
on the recording tape. The nature of the floor determines the scale used. The
120-rpm scale gives the highest resolution,, but if depth changes too rapidly the
use of this scale leads to frequent shifts in phase and to breaks in the record.
If the 60-rpm scale is used, the resolving pvuer is diminished but'the record is
more stable. The 90-rpm scale, of course, gives intermediate values. The authors
conclude that,a number of problems relating to complex records can be deciphered
by the L~dogaiinstrument,, but that this work: will require careful analysis, partic-
ularly of the'nature of the acoustical phenomena recorded during depth measurements.

Partidular tectonic region which plays a most-important part in the
Oevelooment of.Earth's crust,. no 1*ess significant than the conti'
nental
geosyncline regions. It was established that midocean ridges are
one of the largest tectonic regions of.the Earth. Their present-day
active area is almost as large as that of the folded geosyncline *regions*
of the continents.* Simple calculations show that the ancient and
Epimes6zo"ic platforms'of the continents occupy approximately 20%
.of the Earth's surface, folded Cenozoic and*recent geosyncline
.region -1076, thalassocratones or ocean plat forms-4076, and the
zones of midocean ridges-3016. Thus, geological phenomena.
occur in geosyncline and folded regions on a scale comparable to
those taking place in the midocean ridges.
Very valuable for the understariding of tectonic processes in
midocean ridges are investigations of magmatic rocks cropping out
in the fractures of rift zones. Such investigations conducted in 1964 to

characterizing the cross section of the Earth's crust of the midoceanic
ridge of the western Indian Ocean. The samples were collected. from
two cross sections of the rift zone. Samples of basic effusive rocks,
basalts, were.,collected from the peaks of rift ridges. and upper part
of the slopes, gabbro from the lower basic rocks, ultrabasic peridotites
and dunites containing chromite inclusions from still lower region6.
Investigations of the physical properties of these rocks conducted
at the Institute of the Physics of Earth, Academy-of Sciences.USSR,
and at Moscow University by G. N. Petrova, 0. L Silayeva, Ye. L
Bayuk, W. P.' Volarovich, Ye. .A. Lyubimova, D. M. Pecher' skiy,
A. G. Gay:hanov, .and others have shown that the velocities of longitu.'dinal
waves are very small. In slightly serpentized peridotites velocities
of longitudinal waves at atmospheric pressure were 4.4-6.0 km/sec,
while in serpentinites they were about 3.0-4.95 km/sec. Under pressure*
of 4000 atni the velocities increased to 6.1-6.5 kni/sec and
4.1- 5.2 km /sec, respectively. A linear dependence of velocities
of longitudinal waves on the degree of serpentinization, density of
rocks, - electrical conductivity, and remanent magnetization was
observed. These data. indicate a certain decrease in density as a result
of serpentinization and the formation of magnetite grains during th. j
process. The rocks are anisotropic in.respect,to their physical

.7 properties. The anisotropy in the velocity of longitudinal -wave
reaction is 2016; it is up to one order of magnitude for the electrical
conductivity. This particular type of anisotropy leads to the conclusion
,that the rocks have undergone strong dynamic metamorphism even
prior to serpentinization. The dependence of the physical parameters
(especially magneticl on the depth from which the samples were
obtaine'd is quite noticeable. This shows that the depth of occurrence
of rocks has not changed since the time of their serpentinization.
The stability of magnetization, in particular the variation of mag-
,netization versus the applied alternating magnetic field, which is a
function of the temperature at which a ferromagnetic is forrrje d, was
used in determining the. temperature of serpentinization of peridotites
and was found to be 400-4500C.
The physical parameters of ultrabasic rocks forming the basement
of the crust of the midocean ridge were found to havd considerably
lower longitudinal -wave velocities than analogous continental rocks.
Assuming the same , degree of serpentinization, the velocities
should 'be 6.4 and not.4.4-5.2 km/sec and 7.4-8.2 and not 6.1-6.5 km/sec.
The thermal-conductivity of ultrabasic rocks was found to be almost

half that ot tne continental rocks, the dielectric constant higher
by one order of magnititde, and electrical resistivity lowier by three-
fourths of one order.
It is believed that these phenomena can be attributed partly
'to the smaller degree of differentiation of rocks of the upper mantle
under the oceans, as compared with similar continental rocks which
show the results of repeated zonal melting.
Comparison of the physical properties of rocks from the section of
rift zone and the depth of their occurrence with the data from deep
seismic sounding conducted by Yu. P. Neprochenov shows that the
,basalt lavas and serpentinites probably correspond to the "Beconel"'
,seismic layer (with velocities about 5.0 km/sec), that basalt lavas
and most likely gabbro correspond to the "basaltic" layer (6.7 km /Etec),
and the unserpentinized peridotites, having possibly acquired anisotropy,
the layer of rocks in the mantle anomalous with respect to the velLOCity
of longitudinal waves (7.0-7.2 km1sec). The latter rocks can be
considered as subcrustal cavities in the upper mantle.,
The material discussed above is in complete agreement with
-the theoretical and..experirnental results obtained by A* P. Vinogradov

ACC NRI AP6032580
in his research on zonal melting and corresponds to his theory of zonal
melting of the primary material of the Earth, the composition of which
is analogous to that of stony meteorites with basalt separation achieved
*by melting and with formations of p~rlodties as a residual fraction.
The data obtained by the Soviet seismologists A. V. Vvedenskaya,
L. A. Misharina, N. V. Golubeva, and L. - M. Balakina on the strain
orientation at the foci of earthquakes of midocean ridges and ocean
coasts are of considerable interest. These data show very convincingli
that the Earth's crust in the rift zone is being stretched. The existence
of such stresses agrees well with the data on the heterogeneity of
the upper mantle, obtained by means of deep seismic sounding by
R. Rayt, I. P. Kosminskaya, and the author in various parts of the
Pacific Ocean.
All these data indicate that the most active part in the develop-
ment of the Earth's crust is b6ing played by the geosyncline and mid-
ocean tectonic regions which, according to the authors, should be
called "geotaphrogenes." They are contrasted to continental
platforms and thalassocratones, which are the regions of slow, evolu-
-tionarydrustaldevelopment. It is not the preserved primary ptate,

but rather thip continuous zonal melting of the mantle's material and the
:gradual separation of basalt by melting that is typical of the
thalassocratones. The development of continental platforms is
probably even more complicated. In ~ttemp#ng to comprehend
the significance of the regions in the tectonic development of the Earth,
the author believes that in modern geotectonics the present geo-
-syncline. theory should be superseded by another more complicated
tectonic theory Which would include the concept of geotaphrogenes.

mine the speed of propagation of elastic waves and layering of ocean-bottom, sediments !i
iare described. The speed was measured both in the laboratory, using core samples, and
!also directly on the ocean floor. The work began in 1957 and has continued since that
Itime. Measurement of speeds-of elastic waves in core samples was carried out using a
=S-2 seismoscope. Each core is sampled at 1 cm intervals along its length. The maxl-;
Pum experimental error in this series of tests is found to be 1.6%. Speads range from

I
,speed of elastic waves directly on the ocean bottom, a special apparatus was construct,-.
jed, consisting of a supporting frame carrying the ultrasonic source and receiver. Sig-:
nals from the receiver are carried by cable to the ship and recorded on a seismoscope.
IThe source is usually buried to a depth of 50 cm in the sediments, and the separattion
ibetween source and receiver is 50 cm. The last section discusses some problems of us-
ling commercial sounding devices in experimental studies. In recent years, a phototele-i
'graphic recorder, "Ladogall, has been successfully used both in depth soundings and for
!studies of layering in the ocean sediments. This apparatus has been used on the Vityas

The Pr"htVTF'_0f_J'_S_t_u_r'S_ed function of the higher centres of the C.NS is discussed in
relation to diseases of internal organs. Thus, in ulcer and chronic gastritis, a
suppression of stimulatory processes in the cerebral cortex is observed, and also
a weakening of inhibitory influences of the latter oil the subcortical nuclei, i.e.
the development of ulcer and chronic gastritis is based on an identical mecharufim
(Timeskov's opinion). According to Nachaeva, the gastric secretion is more in-
tense during the night than during the day, and the content of free acid is 33,16
higher in nocturnal than in day-time gastric secretion. NaBr increases the gastric
secretion and decreases the amount of free HCI; phenobarbita.'. Na-barbital and
chloral hydrate decrease both the secretion and the amount of free HCI. In animal
experiments Gorbadei demonstrated that the reflexes on i. v. or intra-arterially
introduced substances varied with the depth and duration of narcosis, the nutrit-
ional state of the animal, and with the way of introduction. In this work a general
reflex action on drugs is confirmed; introduced into one or another zone they
normalized the disturbed equilibrium between the stimulatory and inhibitory pro-
cesses of the cerebral cortex. Intra-arterial administratijn of therapeutic sub-
stances is proposed as a method of influencing the activity of the nervous and
other systems and organs, as well as metabolic processes, in patients suffering
from peptic ulcer, gastritis, bronchial asthma and arthritis deformans. (S)
