A general deep area of the ocean will be called an abyssal deep, but a canyon-like structure will also be called a submarine canyon. e.g. the Clutha Submarine Canyonoff the mouth of the Clutha River on the east of New Zealand's South Island.
Off the Kaikoura Peninsula, however is the Hikurangi Trench, a cleft-like canyon which has a relationship with subduction processes, not riverine. This Trench is over 3000 m deep.
This structure continues broadly northwards to become the Tonga Trench in that vicinity.
