Canyon-flank Instability

Canyon-Flank Instability is a geological phenomenon characterized by the progressive weakening and failure of submarine slope materials along the margins of underwater canyons, distinguished from other forms of seafloor instability by its confinement to canyon wall environments and its sensitivity to sediment overloading, fluid migration, and topographically induced stress concentration.
