	Abyssal plain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abyssal plains are flat or very gently sloping areas of the ocean basin floor where rocks gradually sink into the ground because they have no supporting heat energy below them; the world's flattest and smoothest regions are caused by this effect.
		Abyssal plains result from the blanketing of an originally uneven surface of oceanic crust by fine-grained sediments, mainly clay and silt.
		Abyssal plains are less common in the Pacific than in other major ocean basins because sediments from turbidity currents are trapped in submarine trenches that border the Pacific Ocean.

	Nature
		As with the mature abyssal hills, the inward facing slopes of the troughs are fault-controlled scarps with relief of 10-60 m, while the outward facing slopes are dominated by elongate pillow lavas.
		Based on these observations, the abyssal hills are horsts and the intervening troughs are grabens with the important modification to the horst/graben model that the outward facing slopes are created by volcanic growth faulting rather than traditional normal faulting.
		To understand the temporal and spatial interplay of volcanism and tectonism in the development of abyssal hills along the axis of fast-spreading EPR, it is necessary to consider the process from a plan view perspective (Figure 3a).

		Abyssal powers are like an unshielded nuclear reactor, and the fingerprints of their use is fairly easy to spot, once someone knows to look for it.
		This power enables the Abyssal Initiate to infuse his/her body with Abyssal energy, such that the initiate is resistant to attacks by pattern, logrus, and trump.
		Also note that the Abyssal Initiate will not necessarily walk through the most offensive shadows as a Broken Pattern Initiate might, but the tendency will be to use those, as they will provide a somewhat easier path.

	4.6. Abyssal Circulation
		The theory for abyssal circulation has had the same dynamical basis as the Sverdrup balance; the source of vertical velocity has been assumed to be general upwelling in response to point sources of water at high latitudes [ Stommel and Arons, 1960].
		An important abyssal tracer signature in the Pacific is primordial helium released from hydrothermal vents; the helium sections in the Geosecs atlas [ Ostlund et al., 1987] show two plumes on either side of the equator, with the stronger one in the South Pacific.
		Hautala and Riser [1989] showed the circulation in the abyssal layer which results from a superposition of general abyssal upwelling, wind driving, the hydrothermal sources, and the effect of topography.

	RPG United review - The Abyssal

		Resonance is gained of for some reason the Abyssal starts to act against the wishes of his Deathlord or Oblivion.
		The source material is excellent and even though you won't play an Abyssal campaign you might want your Solars to encounter some of the nastiness presented.

	Fizzygoo's D&D Abyssal Horror Prestige Class
		The Abyssal Horror is an enemy to all that is good, a terror that has been loosed upon existence not through some strange demonic ascension but through the demon's sheer ability, skill and violently perverse drive.
		This ability can only be used a number of times based on the Abyssal Horror's level (1/day at 5th level, 2/day at 7th level, 3/day at 9th level).
		As long as the Abyssal Horror is not using a shield, has only weapons that it is proficient with or has its natural attacks and has Multiattack with its claws/hands as its primary weapon it can make two attacks with its Arms of Pain against every opponent within reach at its highest base attack.

		Although heavily draped with pelagic sediments, the abyssal hills are believed to have been shaped by faulting and volcanic activity.

		Leg 149 of the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) explored the ocean-continent transition (OCT) on the Iberia Abyssal Plain and its role in the opening of the Atlantic Ocean approximately 130 Ma ago.
		During the opening event the Iberia Abyssal Plain OCT is envisioned to have resembled the central and northern parts of the present Red Sea with localized spreading centers and magma chambers producing localized patches of MORB mafic rocks.
		The lack of a normal ocean-floor magnetic anomaly pattern in the Iberia Abyssal Plain means that a continuous spreading center similar to that observed in the present southern Red Sea was not formed before spreading ceased in the Iberia Abyssal Plain OCT and jumped to the present Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

	William H. Hoyt MS thesis abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Few studies on modern abyssal plain turbidites have attempted to assess the lateral extent of individual units and few have therefore been able to provide any information on the evolution of turbidity deposits across long abyssal plain distances.
		In order to make this correlation more rigorous, detailed grain size analyses, light and heavy mineralogy of sands, HCl treatment, and volatile solids determinations were performed on three of the six turbidite units, which have volumes of 5.7, 8.0, and 12.1 km3.
		The results of previous studies on modern abyssal plain turbidites, ancient turbidite deposits, and experimental lab studies are compared with results from the Horseshoe Abyssal Plain deposits and it is concluded that minor physiographic disturbances on the otherwise flat abyssal plain floor have resulted in marked sedimentological variation.
