Submarine canyons were most likely formed by: select one: a. scouring by glaciers during the last ice age. b. deposition of terrestrial sediment. c. earthquake activity. d. erosion by turbidity currents. e. erosion by major rivers in the past.

Submarine canyons were most likely formed by erosion by major rivers in the past (option e)

Explanation:

A submarine canyon is a deep, relatively narrow, V-shaped depression whose bottom generally has a continuous slope. It can extend from the continental shelf to the great ocean depths.

Submarine canyons are habitats that appear interrupting the apparent homogeneity of the continental shelf. They play an important role in channeling organic matter. They transport sediments from the continental shelf to the deep ocean. Submarine canyons are usually found at the mouths of the rivers and are formed by the gigantic erosive power of the water that is slowly sculpting it from the continent, to the abysmal depths.

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
