What are turbidites and how are they associated with graded bedding?

Turbidity currents usually originate along the continental slope and continue across the continental rise, still cutting channels. Eventually they lose momentum and come to rest along the floor of the deepest ocean basin. As these currents slow, suspended sediments begin to settle out. First, the coarser sand is dropped, followed by successively finer accumulations of silt and then clay. these deposits, called turbidites, display a decrease in sediment grain size from bottom to top.

Does graded bedding cause landslides?
yes and no. it depends on the type of graded bedding you are talking about.♥sarah
Is it possible for a layer of cross-bedded strata to show graded bedding as well?
Absolutely: there are many possibilities. The only issue is that as the cross-bedding is often not on a massive scale, this may cause graded bedding to become unnoticeable. It is clearer in a rock with only graded bedding. As the beds are often quite shallow, grading is often unnoticeable, yet it still may exist on a slight scale.
Where sells pint and brown bedding?
Pint and brown bedding does not exist. If one wishes to buy pink and brown bedding, check the big box stores like Walmart and Target. Pink and brown is currently a popular color combination.
What are joints and bedding plates and how are they different limestone?
No

Whats the difference in graded bedding and cross bedding?
Surfaces between layers of sediments (bedding planes) are usually deposited in horizontal sheets, but cross-bedding is inclined. Graded beds are horizontal and are usually sorted from coarse at the bottom to fine at the top.

What is it called when sediments are layered and sorted by size?
It is called graded bedding.
What national park would you find graded bedding?
Graded bedding would easily be found in the North Cascades National Park. The park is located in Whatcom, Skagit, and Chelan counties in Washington state.

Compare and contrast graded bedding and cross-bedding?
Cross-Bedding is a feature that occurs at various scales, and is observed in conglomerates and sandstones. It reflects the transport of gravel and sand by currents that flow over the sediment surface (e.g. in a river channel). sand in river channels or coastal environments. Graded Bedding means that the grain size within a bed decreases upwards.
What is geological significance of graded bedding especialy in terms of provenance and depositional basin?
Graded bedding would indicated the speed and fury of the depositional water flow had slowly diminished and the distance of the final deposition from the source material had increased over time.
