The submarine density currents theory was proposed to explain the origin of submarine canyons, deep-sea channels, and the transportation of sediments from continental shelves to the deep ocean floor. This theory was mainly developed by Francis P. Shepard and later supported by studies of turbidity currents. It suggests that dense, sediment-laden water flows downslope under the influence of gravity, eroding the sea floor and carving submarine canyons in a manner similar to rivers on land. Submarine density currents are generated when seawater becomes denser than the surrounding water due to the presence of large quantities of suspended sediments, lower temperatures, or increased salinity. The most common cause is the accumulation of sediments near river mouths, continental shelves, or deltaic regions. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, storms, glacial melting, and underwater landslides may suddenly disturb these sediments, causing them to mix
