Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sea level has an effect on submarine canyons. When the sea level decreases, an erosion can create a canyon especially near rivers. When the sea level rises again the canyon remains. Turbidity currents create movements of sediments that can cut into a canyon. Earthquakes can also shake loose boulders and sand that rush down the edge of the shelf and create submarine canyons. Information can be found in the section Continental Margins May Be Active or Passive.
