Off the Rif chain, the topography of the slope is much more irregular than it is in front of the Meseta as far south as 33°N. From Cape Cantin to Agadir it is even more complicated, with many canyon-like depressions and a broad, convex spur off Cape Tafelneh (31° 15'N). The existence of nine transverse profiles across the whole continental slope of the Norwegian Sea, from West Norway to North S])itzl)ergen, has been published by H. Holtedahl (1955, pp. 59-Gl).
