What is the relationship between a submarine canyon and the continental slope?
I am totally not sure myself but i believe that the submarine canyon cna build off of a continental slope
How is submarine canyons formed?
A submarine canyon refers to a steep-sided valley cut into the sea floor of the continental slope. It is formed through turbidity currents that carve out the submarine canyons in the continental shelf.

Deep valleys that run through a continental slope are called?
Submarine canyons. These are steep-sided valleys that cut into the continental slope and sometimes extend onto the continental shelf. Submarine canyons can be formed by various processes, including erosion from turbidity currents or underwater landslides.
What are V shaped valleys in the continental shelf and continental slope are called?
V-shaped valleys in the continental shelf and slope are called submarine canyons. These are deep, steep-sided valleys that cut across the continental margin and are often formed by underwater processes such as turbidity currents or erosion by underwater currents. Submarine canyons can be comparable in scale to canyons found on land.

It is thought that submarine canyons on the continental slope have been generated by?
turbidity currents
What are valleys that lead from the continental shelf into deeper waters are known as?
Submarine Canyons
Submarine canyons are usually found in which region?
Submarine canyons are typically found on continental margins, where they cut through the continental slope and descend towards the abyssal plain. They are commonly associated with tectonically active regions or areas with high sediment input from rivers or glaciers.
What is the Fastest speed in a human powered submarine?
It's estimated that Sgt. Lee of the American Continental Army pedalled his TURTLE submarine at about 2 mph in 1776.
What has the author Robert McQuillin written?
Robert McQuillin has written: 'Exploring the geology of shelf seas' -- subject(s): Submarine geology, Submarine topography, Continental shelf
Describe the continental shelf slope and rise?
continental margin
