Tiny fossils, huge landslides: Are diatoms the key to Earth's biggest slides? Geological Society of America, February 12, 2018 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/02/180212133446.htm https://phys.org/news/2018-02-tiny-fossils-huge-diatoms-key.html "The biggest landslides on Earth aren't on land, but on the seafloor. These mega-slides can move thousands of cubic kilometers of material, and sometimes trigger tsunamis. Yet, remarkably, they occur on nearly flat slopes of less than three degrees."
