Which mechanism directs the meandering path formation of submerged streams across the abyssal plain?

💡 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.
