{{Short description|Prehistoric landslide off Norway}} [[File:StoreggaFLCommonsZone.jpg|thumb|Map of ''Storegga Slides'']] The three '''Storegga Slides''' ({{langx|no|Storeggaraset}}) are amongst the largest known [[submarine landslide]]s. They occurred at the edge of Norway's [[continental shelf]] in the [[Norwegian Sea]], approximately 6225β6170 [[Common Era|BCE]]. The collapse involved an estimated {{cvt|290|km|mi}} length of coastal shelf, with a total volume of {{cvt|3500|km3|cumi}} of debris, which caused a [[paleotsunami]] in the [[North Atlantic Ocean]].
