The 'Ganges Fan' is the largest
submarine accumulation of
sediment on Earth. Material is carried from the mouth of the Ganges Delta in Bangladesh through a series of underwater
canyons, some of which are more than 1500 miles (2,414km) in length. Then the material is carried along the floor of the Bay of Bengal up to 30 degrees latitude from where it began. The fan is now being explored as a possible source of fossil fuels for the surrounding developing nations.
