And the estimates of the mountain rising by 15–50 metres depend on the long-term rates of tectonic uplift and erosion, which are not well understood, he adds.

Instead, the results show that the steeper the seafloor, the more likely it is that such canyons will form –a process largely driven by tectonic uplift, thermal cooling, and slope instability.
