Information
has glosseng: A submarine canyon is a steep-sided valley on the sea floor of the continental slope. Many submarine canyons are found as extensions to large rivers; however there are many that have no such association. Canyons cutting the continental slopes have been found at depths greater than 2 km below sea level. They are formed by powerful turbidity currents, volcanic and earthquake activity. Many submarine canyons continue as submarine channels across continental rise areas and may extend for hundreds of kilometers.

has glossnld: Een submariene canyon (sub = onder; marien = zee) of onderzeese canyon is een canyon (een diepe kloof) in de bodem van een oceaan. De meeste submariene canyons bevinden zich op de overgang van het continentaal plat naar de continentale helling. Submariene canyons liggen typisch in het verlengde van de monding van grote rivieren. Ze worden gevormd door submariene erosie van ongeconsolideerde ("losse") sedimenten door landafwaartse stroming van water over de zeebodem.
