The bay is situated on a geological fault between the Alma Syncline and the Tarkhankut rise. Tectonic movements have formed various depositions within the bay and indicate a relative sea level increase of approximately 2 metres since the 1st millennium BCE. With regard to shipping it is relatively shallow and exposed.[1]
