seabed stability

Seabed stability refers to the ability of the ocean floor to remain intact and resist movement or erosion. Various factors, such as sediment composition, water currents, and geological activity, influence this stability. When the seabed is stable, it supports ecosystems and structures like pipelines and wind turbines, while unstable seabeds can lead to landslides or undersea earthquakes. Understanding seabed stability is crucial for safe marine construction, environmental protection, and predicting natural disasters, ensuring that activities in these environments do not cause harm to marine life or coastal communities.
