Submarine Canyons
Elongate valley a depression of sea floor
(a) Broad floor and steep wall

(c) Small gullies thru deep sea deltas

canyons
La Jolla Canyons - Scipp works in California
Camel, Monteny, Mouth of Congo, Corsica, French Riveria
Scripps Canyon very close to shore - diverted from beach
Scupps - 15 feet deep
High Walls-kelp & eel
Grass on floor
50 feet (rocky gorge)
100 feet (hanging valleys)
175 (danger) narrow
Gorge (5 feet arde (shake))
Sea fan end by valley & levees sand & mud large in cave
(Topography of sand similar to surrounding shore)
Monterrey (Camel & Monterrey) resembles Grand Canyon many Dentrites
(Cannel Pt Lobos)
H20 deep canyon comes 100 feet to shore - cut in granite Monterrey -sandy,
many turbulences joins camel canyon
Sediment Rock Structured -Graded Bedding (mud, sand, pebbles)
(Cores similar to La Jolla)
Cape St. Lueas (Gulf of California) granite wall, sand schusses
Mostly all Sub canyons on South California clustered around type of Gulf of
