Description
Owing to the previous studies on bathymetric features around the submarine canyons using the NMB survey data, it was found that three vertical submarine canyons develop near the head at a depth of around 100 m offshore of Seisho PA next to the Morito River mouth. Traces were left on the seabed on a steep slope at the east and west ends of the submarine canyon offshore of the Morito River mouth, from which sand discharges into the deep ocean. The formation of such topographic changes and offshore discharge of sand into a deep ocean have not yet been clarified. In this study, the BG model was used to predict such topographic changes. The possibility of offshore discharge of sand into the deep sea via a submarine canyon was shown by the numerical simulation.
