- W1520394447 abstract "Mountains and uplifted areas occupy more than 10% of the Earth’s surface, and their associated drainages rather commonly develop as constrained, canyon-bound channels. Therefore, large deep canyons (LDCs) are relatively frequently encountered, persistent landforms, occurring either as steeply dipping, V-shaped canyons that emerge from fold, fault-block, volcanic, and dome mountains, or occurring as drainages incised into uplifted plateaus. The latter type include the world’s deepest canyons, including: the 3.35 km-deep Cotahuasi Canyon of the Rio Cotahuasi, a tributary of the Rio Ocona in southwestern Peru; the 2.44 km-deep Hells Canyon of the Snake River in Idaho; the >2.1 km-deep Barranca de Cobre in Chihuahua, Mexico; and the world-renowned 2.48 km-deep Grand Canyon in northern Arizona. LDCs also occur in submarine environments at the mouths of large rivers: the Nile and the Rhone Rivers have large submarine canyons at their mouths created during repeated Pliocene desiccation of the Mediterranean basin; the Indus and Ganges Rivers form lengthy submarine deltaic canyons; the Hudson River in northeastern North America has a substantial submarine canyon; and large canyons form in other tectonically active submarine areas. Whether terrestrial or subaqueous, LDCs support or generate strong ecological gradients, and periodically or perennially provide cascading deliveries of flow, sediments, nutrients, and biota to lower elevations (e.g., Gurnell and Petts 1995; Butman et al. 2006; Canals et al. 2009), processes that may influence the distribution and evolution of life around them." @default.
