Question

Which scholars is the proponent of the turbidity current theory o origin of submarine canyons?

Answer 1

Submarine canyon, any of a class of narrow steep-sided valleys that cut into continental slopes and continental rises of the oceans. Submarine canyons originate either within continental slopes or on a continental shelf. They are rare on continental margins that have extremely steep continental slopes or escarpments. Submarine canyons are so called because they resemble canyons made by rivers on land

Answer 2

Daly is the ‘proponent of the turbidity’ current theory on the origin of submarine.

Explanation:

• A high-density current is the Submarine turbidity current which is formed by the ‘movement of sand’ and the sediment and mud covering the continental shelf.  

• This movement can be induced by volcanic activities, tsunami, earthquakes and other forms of activities that cause the movement.  

• The submarine canyon gets eroded over a period of time on the shelf or the slope. Once they reach the ocean floor the turbidity currents slow down.
