submarine canyon

It can also be found inside submarine canyons, close to the walls.

Submarine canyons are common along many of the world's coastlines.

In addition to the processes described above, submarine canyons that are especially deep may form by another method.

Some submarine canyons are found as extensions to large rivers; however most of them have no such association.

Submarine canyons form underwater, generally at the mouths of rivers.

The upper slope is smoother but may be cut by submarine canyons.

Vast 700m deep valleys, submarine canyons, are strewn over a distance of 2km.

Its strong relief is marked by deep submarine canyons and the continuation of the main rivers.

One relevant consequence is that the submarine canyons eroded are now far below the present sea level.

The slope is often cut with submarine canyons.

Submarine canyons are deep, steep-sided valleys that form on continental margins.

Submarine canyons transport sediment from beaches and rivers down the upper slope.

It was deposited on giant undersea fans that extend around submarine canyons.

This ultimately shifts submarine canyons and sediment deposition locations.

The outer continental shelf and slope may be cut by great submarine canyons, which mark the offshore continuation of rivers.

Many submarine canyons continue as submarine channels across continental rise areas and may extend for hundreds of kilometers.

The bay includes the first of a number submarine canyons, making Trincomalee one of the finest deep-sea harbors in the world.

Submarine canyons, he suggested, were initially carved by rivers when sea levels were lower during the recent Pleistocene epoch.

Individuals occasionally wander into relatively shallower waters over the continental shelf, perhaps following submarine canyons or suffering from an abnormal condition.

Deep submarine canyons were cut in the Monterey Bay area, as an extension of the Salinas River.

"The cliffs in that area are part of a volcanic range that stretches offshore from the continental shelf and drops off into submarine canyons.

Much of this sediment is deposited by turbidity currents that have been channelled from the continental margins along submarine canyons down into deeper water.

Although such conceptions still remains, recent interpretations assume that material was supplied by submarine canyons from the adjacent shelf areas (e.g. Nesvačilka canyon).

He is perhaps best known for his studies on stromatolites, the submarine canyons in California and his collaboration with Jacques Cousteau.

The shells, pebbles, and other material were deposited, together with sand and mud, within the walls of submarine canyons and became lithified.
