The canyons are the main conduits for transporting terrigenous materials to the lower slope and abyssal basin. The erosion and sedimentary characteristics of the submarine canyons are studied and the forming mechanisms are discussed based on the sequence stratigraphic analysis of the high resolution seismic profiles, combined with regional geological and geomorphological features. The studies suggest that the Quaternary stratigraphy can be divided into three domains, and HST can be divided into two units, respectively HST1, HST2. The forming mechanism of slope-confined canyons in Baiyun Sag have a closely concerning with sediment supply, slumping and the burial channels
