Submarine canyons are now widely believed to have been eroded by submarine processes, possibly turbidity currents. Although they may resemble, in a general way, the typical subaerially eroded land valleys, they also possess distinct characteristics of their own. Regions that have emerged from beneath the ocean since, or possibly prior to, the mid-Tertiary might still have relict submarine canyons on their surfaces. Enigmatic coastal indentations, such as certain fjords, estuaries, rias, and lagoons, together with some dry and underfit stream valleys, may be of this origin. Many bear a resemblance to submarine canyons and some appear to be linked with present canyons on the continental shelves. A number of problems that have been part of conventional interpretations of their origin are resolved by this hypothesis; a few new problems, it must be admitted, are created
