\begin{abstract}
This study explores geomorphology within canyons using 3D seismic
imaging. It reveals crucial insights that underscore the relationship
between growth faults, slope instability, and canyon development. The
structural settings of canyons, often conforming to established
patterns, come to light as integral components of the study. An
important observation was made: the gradient, a first-order factor,
exerts significant control over both canyon initiation and propagation.
Furthermore, the distribution of growth faults, a major catalyst for
slope instability, holds an indirect yet profound link to sediment
routing within canyons and the ancient geography of the region. These
findings not only enhance our understanding of canyon evolution but also
play a crucial role in interpreting reservoir distribution, marking them
as invaluable assets in some geological exploration and reservoir
management.~%
