  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Earthquakes and other natural events sometimes shake the seafloor near coastlines severely enough to cause underwater avalanches that rush down steep slopes, scouring the seabed and carrying sediment to greater depths. These fast-moving sediment-laden flows, called&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;turbidity currents&lt;span&gt;, have at times damaged underwater infrastructure like pipelines and communications cables, as they did, for example, in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;snapping transatlantic cables&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;off the coast of Newfoundland after the 1929 Grand Banks earthquake.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
