Instead of comparing low-latitude channels fed by large rivers to high-latitude, often steeper systems that are not directly linked to rivers and their deltas, it is more insightful to compare systems that have many characteristics in common but are situated at different latitudes. The best candidate in this regard is the Danube Channel, located at 43º to 44º N, fed by the Danube River, and sharing many similarities with large submarine channels close to the Equator. The most interesting feature of the Danube submarine fan is that the channels are highly sinuous, yet the levees display a strong asymmetry that is clearly driven by the Coriolis effect \citep{Popescu_2001}. This suggests that a turbidity current can be strongly influenced by the centrifugal force in its lower, faster, coarser-grained part while the upper, slower, and finer-grained layer is pushed preferentially to one side by the Coriolis force. In addition to the velocity differences, the geomorphology of many leveed submarine channels is likely to further contribute to this effect: the lower part of the flow goes through channel bends with large curvatures, while the upper part follows a much straighter path, often only partly confined by the levees, with lower sinuosity and large values of \(R\) (Fig. \ref{357103}).
