A submarine fan forms when sediment transported by turbidity currents accumulates in deep-sea environments, typically at the base of continental slopes. These currents, triggered by events such as underwater landslides or earthquakes, carry sediment down the slope and deposit it in a fan-shaped pattern on the ocean floor. Over time, repeated sedimentation builds up the fan, which can extend over large areas of the seafloor. Submarine fans are primarily formed during periods of high sediment supply, often related to tectonic activity or changes in sea level.
What else can I help you with?
Which feature would you expect to find at the mouth of a submarine canyon?
At the mouth of a submarine canyon, you would expect to find a submarine fan. This is a large accumulation of sediment that has been transported down the canyon and deposited on the ocean floor as the canyon widens and reaches the abyssal plain.

What are Underwater volcanoes called?
Underwater volcanoes are called submarine volcanoes. They form in a similar way as their continental counterparts, that is close to plate boundaries.

What form of energy are represented by x when an electric fan is turned on?
The form of energy represented by x when an electric fan is turned on is electrical energy. This is the energy that powers the fan and is converted into mechanical energy, which allows the fan blades to rotate and create airflow.
What is the form of potential energy of an electric fan?
The potential energy of an electric fan is typically in the form of electrical potential energy. This energy is stored in the fan's electric circuit when it is connected to a power source.
What is the Present progressive form of fan?
Fan is a noun. So there is no past tense for Fan
How do you sink the submarine on the impossible test app?
You drag the word "submarine" itself onto the submarine. Then you wait for it to sink.
How does submarine will move forward and backward?
A submarine moves forward by using its propeller, which is powered by an electric motor or diesel engine. To move backward, the submarine can reverse the direction of the propeller's rotation or adjust the angle of its hydroplanes to control its depth and direction.
