← GeographyWhich mechanism directs the meandering path formation of submerged streams across the abyssal plain?
A)Turbidity current deposition patterns✓
B)Geothermal vent flow dynamics
C)Halocline layer density variations
D)Chemosynthesis influenced bed friction
💡 Explanation
Turbidity currents transport sediment, and the **channelization** occurs because sediment is deposited where the flow loses energy. This leads to meandering, rather than uniformly spreading sediment, because uneven deposition reinforces channel boundaries over time and space.
