Submarine channels are similar to land rivers, but they are formed by density currents—underwater flow mixtures of sand, mud and water that are denser than sea water and so sink and flow along the bottom. These channels are the main transport pathway for sediments to the deep sea where they form sedimentary deposits. 2361:(waterside mansions) which were constructed along the shores of the Bosporus during the Ottoman period have long been synonymous with the Strait.
