Question

Submarine canyons are usually found in which region?


ocean trench


ocean basin floor


ocean ridge


continental margin

I choose between C amd A

Answer 1

Correct answer: continental margin.

Submarine canyons cut into the continental shelf and slope (the continental margin). They are carved by rivers during low sea level and by turbidity currents and sediment flows that erode downslope. They are not features of mid‑ocean ridges or ocean trenches (trenches are deep subduction zones), though some canyons may extend seaward into the basin.
