Multiple Choice QuestionsWhich one of the following scholars is the proponent of the Turbidity Current Theory on the origin of Submarine Canyons ?
Salin
Gregory
Daly
Harry Hen
C.
Daly
Submarine turbidity current is the high-density current which is formed by the movement of sand & sediments covering continental shelf. This movement is induced by tsunami, earthquakes etc. The submarine canyon gets eroded over long time period on shelf and once reaches he ocean floor , the speed of turbidity currents slows down.
