What is it about?

This chapter reviews submarine geomorphology, in particular, highlighting the two following aspects. First, because the ocean floors are obscured to us, progress in submarine geomorphology has followed the developments of technology more closely than geomorphology on land, where landscape features have always been viewable. Second, the lower erosion rates in some submarine environments mean that geomorphological features can be exceptionally well preserved in the sonar records we collect and view.
