Explanation:
♤decay of radioactive elements
♤ leftover heat from planetary formation
♤heat released as the liquid outer core solidifies near its boundary with the inner core.
The enormous submarine canyon located off the coast of central California in Monterey bay is very well studied for both its geologic and biologic features, as well as being a national marine sanctuary. Thus, "Monterey" is the correct filler to be used here.
<h3>What is a Submarine canyon?</h3>
A submarine canyon is a steep-sided valley that has been dug into the seabed of the continental slope; it can occasionally extend deep over the continental shelf, have virtually vertical walls, and can have canyon walls that are up to 5 km high, like the Great Bahama Canyon. Submarine canyons provide routes for the movement of turbidity currents over the seafloor, just like above-sea level canyons do for the movement of water through land.
Rivers may provide turbidity currents or storms, and undersea landslides, earthquakes, and other soil disturbances may create them on the seafloor. Turbidity currents are movements of water that are thick and sediment-laden. The continental slope is eroded by the swift (up to 70 km/h) turbidity currents that flow downslope.

Answer:
Explanation:
One of the first scenario is that the rock might not contain minerals that would result in the formation of foliations and lineations in the rock.
The bulk of a rock fabric depends on mineral orientations and their unique properties. This is why platy minerals play very important roles in defining the fabric of a rock.
Another scenario is that, the rock might have exceeded the extreme of metamorphism where melting is approached. All fabrics will eventually fan out and be destroyed.
About 71 percent<span> of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about </span>96.5 percent<span>of all Earth's water. Water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers</span>
