Submarine Fans

Submarine Fans is a deep-marine sedimentary system composed of graded, turbidite deposits organized into fan-shaped lobes and channels, distinguishing it from other submarine geomorphological features by its radial architecture and origin from sediment gravity flows at continental margin slopes.
