We observed crescent depression with 1-2km width and 200m depth nearer to seamounts. Multibeam data when we first analysed we suspected it may be of turbudity. (Since all depressions are arranged in almost in a single direction).

But later detailed subbottom profiling & ROV  revealed that they are hard bottom.

If anybody can give probable reason for its formation will be a great help.
