More Details: Submarine conduits are features responsible for transporting clastic debris from continents to the deep ocean. While the architecture of conduits has been extensively studied, the process of their inception remains unclear. This study highlights the possibility that some conduits are initiated by depositional processes involving turbidity currents. Here, we present the results of eight experiments where gravity currents were allowed to develop their own pathways. The simulation tank represented natural scales of continental shelves, slopes, and basins. The initial experiments involved sediment-laden flows with low density (1–10% in volume). In first experiment runs (Series I), sediment deposition occurred primarily on the shelf and slope, resulting in an asymmetric transverse profile. This asymmetry facilitated subsequent conservative currents (1034 to 1070 kg/m3 due to salt dissolution) flowing alongside during the second series, resulting in the formation of a constructive submarine conduit. This feature is analogous to gully formations observed in various locations. This study correlates these findings with gully-like features and proposes a model where non-confined density flows can evolve into confined flows through the construction of asymmetric topography. An evolutionary model is proposed to explain the mechanism, which potentially elucidates the formation of many submarine conduits.

  Data: Submarine conduits are features responsible for transporting clastic debris from continents to the deep ocean. While the architecture of conduits has been extensively studied, the process of their inception remains unclear. This study highlights the possibility that some conduits are initiated by depositional processes involving turbidity currents. Here, we present the results of eight experiments where gravity currents were allowed to develop their own pathways. The simulation tank represented natural scales of continental shelves, slopes, and basins. The initial experiments involved sediment-laden flows with low density (1–10% in volume). In first experiment runs (Series I), sediment deposition occurred primarily on the shelf and slope, resulting in an asymmetric transverse profile. This asymmetry facilitated subsequent conservative currents (1034 to 1070 kg/m3 due to salt dissolution) flowing alongside during the second series, resulting in the formation of a constructive submarine conduit. This feature is analogous to gully formations observed in various locations. This study correlates these findings with gully-like features and proposes a model where non-confined density flows can evolve into confined flows through the construction of asymmetric topography. An evolutionary model is proposed to explain the mechanism, which potentially elucidates the formation of many submarine conduits.
