And finally, thanks to everyone at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, whose terrific research I relied upon when putting this thread together: www.mbari.org/know-your-oc... (Everyone working in the Earth Sciences: you deserve better than what's happening to science funding right now.)

⭐️ Thanks! Very interesting. Do you happen to know of any good sources for info about mapping underground rivers in the land-locked Midwest?

Off the top of my head, I do not! But I will go looking.

Is there a way to see if there's a linking point from monterrey to the Marianas trench?

Their geological origin stories are actually very different! bsky.app/profile/mike... Plus they're a *long* way apart...

Reason I asked was the earthquake in Russia and the tsunami hitting America, and all recent seismic activity could impact on the ring of fire.

Elkhorn Slough is the terrestrial expression of the uppermost part of the canyon; during previous ice ages, much more of the canyon was exposed. My understanding is that geologists theorize the canyon was carved by outflow from CA’s Central Valley in the Pleistocene, before the Golden Gate existed.

my favorite one of these definitely has to be Hudson canyon! I could read BOOKS about it, omg. Offshore topography is so interesting when you consider the pieces that weren't always below the water within the context of wider earth systems over long periods of time!
