Scientific paper

This article discusses the nature and origin of submarine canyons, both the deep canyons crossing the continental slope and their shallower continuation seaward as fan-valleys. The canyons and sediments they contain are discussed in relation to the adjacent land and to the continental rise. Possible origins, including turbidity currents and upbuilding of the continental walls, are dealt with in the final section.
