Submarine canyons could have been formed during the last ice age when sea levels were low and most continental shelves and slopes were not covered by seawater. During this time rivers carved canyons in the continental slope. These canyons eventually were covered by rising seawater following glacial melting. Alternatively, turbidity currents on steep continental slopes may carve out submarine canyons.
