Seismic expression of chimneys and pockmarks. Figure modified from Cartwright and colleagues11,22. (a) Vertical seismic profile through fluid migration pathways from offshore Namibia. SB = seabed, RL = reflective horizontal sedimentary layer, CR = chimney downward-bending compacted rim, CC = chimney core, RZ = root zone and diffuse base of the chimney. (b) Horizontal slice through a group of chimneys displaying the typical circular craters or pockmarks.
