Abyssal channel by Wikipedia Bot 0
An abyssal channel is a deep-sea feature characterized by a long, narrow, and often steep-sided valley or trench found on the ocean floor, typically at depths greater than 4,000 meters (about 13,123 feet). These channels are usually formed by the processes of sedimentation and erosion, which can occur due to deep-sea currents, tectonic activity, and the movement of sediments.
