Vertical sections of sediments beneath the ocean floor in the southwest Pacific 

 Ocean. The top chart shows the northeast flank of the Solomon Rise, and the 

 bottom chart illustrates the Central Caroline basin and south flank of the Caro- 

 line Ridge. Records were obtained with a seismic profiler, using an "air gun" 

 source and a towed array of receiving hydrophones. The sections show folding, 

 faulting, and difierences in thickness within the sediments.
