The Shores of Argentina

Postby doom_shepherd » Wed Nov 04, 2009 8:15 pm

When I look at a map of Argentina, my eyes are always drawn to two features that look oddly like "breaks" in the coastline.

One, Bahia Samborombon, is just to the SouthEast of Buenos Aires. Looks like a "scoop" has been taken out of the coast between La Plata and Mar del Plata.

The other , the San Jorge Gulf, is between the provinces of Chubut and Santa Cruz, and seems even more half-circular.

Has anyone investigated to see if either of these features are impact or volcanism- related? If so, what were the sesults? I haven't found any clear information on this yet.

Since this is not an astronomy question, I am moving it to Forces of Nature.

M'Kay. I wasn't sure where this one should have gone.
