[ES] El Sistema Turbidítico del Magdalena se localiza en el margen continental Sur de Colombia, en el Mar Caribe, donde tiene lugar la interacción de las placas caribeña y sudamericana. El margen continental de Colombia está caracterizado por una plataforma continental relativamente estrecha (aproximadamente 2 km) por lo que los sedimentos terrígenos procedentes del continente, principalmente del Río Magdalena, desembocan prácticamente en el talud continental (Kolla y Buffler, 1985). Este talud está surcado por cañones y cárcavas submarinas que actúan como conductos de transferencia del sedimento al sistema turbidítico. La geología más reciente del talud continental superior ( 3.700 m) está caracterizada por la presencia de cuatro elementos mor- foestructurales y morfosedimentarios relevantes (Estrada etal., 1997; Ercilla et al., 2000): a) altos morfoestructurales que representan el frente de deformación formado como consecuencia de la interacción entre las placas sudamericana y caribeña; b) tres grandes áreas (20 km de ancho, 100 km de largo) de depósitos de flujos de derrubios; c) complejos de canal-dique; y d) ondas de sedimento formadas por la acción de corrientes de fondo.

[EN] Three channel-levee complexes comprise the present.-day morphology of he eastern side of the Magdalena turbidite system (Caribbean Sea). These complexes, that extend from the upper to atl east the lower continental slope (> 3700 m water depth) have migrated westward, and this migration could be related to changes in the submarine point sources. Several sedimentary processes have been defined in the channel-levee complexes: bifurcation, oxbows development, and crevasse splays occured during the formation and development of the channel-levee systems, whereas break of levees, loss of channel-levee continuity, and reworking of channel-levee systems occur today, favouring the destruction of the complexes
