Tufts submarine fan, offshore Oregon and California, extends more than 350 km south from Cascadia Channel and contains as much as 500 m of turbidite deposits. Growth of the fan now permits turbidity-current overflow from Cascadia Channel to reach Escanaba Trough on the southern axis of the Gorda Ridge.
