…In the Western Sea area west of the Jinzu spur, the continental shelf is relatively wide at 4 to 6 km, but in the Tokai area in front of the Kurobe River alluvial fan, it is narrow at 1 to 2 km, with an average slope of about 7 degrees and continuing to the seabed at a depth of 800 to 1000 m. On the extension of the current and former rivers flowing from the Toyama Plain into Toyama Bay, magnificent sea valleys (submarine canyons) called "aigame" that carve the continental shelf and continental slope can be seen. The existence of these sea valleys, the buried forests (Tokuten) offshore of Uozu Port and Yoshiwara offshore of Nyuzen Town, and the prehistoric ruins of Osakai Cave (old sea cave) on the Himi coast indicate the complex changes in the coastline caused by a combination of uplift and subsidence of the land and rise and fall of sea levels. … *Some of the terminology that refers to "Aigame" is listed below.
