A sea wave that is created when the sea floor slips after an underwater earthquake?
The succession of waves is called a tsunami.
What is a long wave caused by an underwater earthquake or other disturbance called?
A tidal wave is caused by an earthquake.
What landscape has caves and sinkholes and deep valleys?
its called KARST TOPOGRAPHY
What are the valles marineris?
Valles Marineris is a massive canyon system that runs along the Martian equator. At over 4,000 km long, 200 km wide and about 7 km deep, it is larger than any of Earth's canyons, and is the largest known canyon in the solar system.See link for more information
A deep crack in the Earth's crust is called a bulge fault drift overthrust.?
a fault
What are underwater valleys called?
deep sea canyons
What happens to the ocean floor at the deep ocean trenches?
what happens is the ocean floor does not just keep spreading.instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep- ocean trenches
What are V shaped valleys in the continental shelf and continental slope are called?
V-shaped valleys in the continental shelf and slope are called submarine canyons. These are deep, steep-sided valleys that cut across the continental margin and are often formed by underwater processes such as turbidity currents or erosion by underwater currents. Submarine canyons can be comparable in scale to canyons found on land.
What is a valley underwater called?
A valley underwater is called a submarine canyon. These can form through a variety of geological processes, such as erosion by underwater currents or the collapse of underwater sediment. Submarine canyons can be important habitats for a diverse range of marine life.
Deep valleys that run through a continental slope are called?
Submarine canyons. These are steep-sided valleys that cut into the continental slope and sometimes extend onto the continental shelf. Submarine canyons can be formed by various processes, including erosion from turbidity currents or underwater landslides.
What are deep under water canyons called?
Trenches
Are canyons only formed in hot places?
No, there are canyons in cold places and underwater.
Why does deep-ocean trench occur?
At deep-ocean trenches, subduction allows part of the ocean floor to sink back into the mantle. The ocean floor does not just keep spreading. Instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep-ocean trenches. Where there are trenches, subduction takes place.

What are slope canyons?
Slope canyons are narrow, deep channels carved into the seafloor on the continental slope. They are typically formed by a combination of erosional processes like underwater landslides, turbidity currents, and the movement of sediment down the continental slope. Slope canyons play a crucial role in transporting sediment and nutrients from the continental shelf to the deep ocean.
Deep underwater creatures are called what?
good stuff
What are narrow deep valleys called?
Narrow deep valleys are called canyons. Canyons are typically formed by erosion from water or glaciers over long periods of time, resulting in steep cliff walls and a narrow channel at the bottom.
