What is Submarine Canyons: Features and Insights about?
Submarine canyons resemble land canyons in having V-shaped cross-sections and outward sloping floors with branching tributaries. They can be over 5km deep and tens of km wide. Observation via cameras and submersibles show vertical or overhanging walls and cobble-covered floors over 3km deep. Canyon floors can experience sudden deepening from sediment removal, demonstrating they are actively shaped by ocean processes rather than static remnants of erosion.
