Which current is associated with down slope movements of dense sediment rich water?
There are a number of processes that could fit this description including mud / debris flows and solifluction (both types of "mass wasting"). In pelagic / benthic (marine) settings turbidity currents would also fit this description. Please see the related links.
How is a deep ocean current formed?
I think ocean currents are formed because the pull of the moon,well actually waves are formed that way but I think it's the same thing.
What cell plate is a characteristic of?
Cell plate is formed in plant cell division.It is characteristic feature of plants.
Was gondwana and laurasia formed by continental drifts or erosion or deposition or earthquakes?
Gondwanaland was moved by the continental drifts assisted by the convection currents. But they were formed just like any other piece of land, but moved by the currents.
A substance that is formed from atoms with a characteristic set of physical and chemical properties is called what?
A substance that is formed from one type of atoms with a characteristic set of physical and chemical properties is called an element.
How is an ocean submarine canyon formed?
Powerful turbidity currents, earthquakes, or movements on a continental slope can form a submarine canyon.
How is a canyons formed?
A submarine canyon refers to a steep-sided valley cut into the sea floor of the continental slope. It is formed through turbidity currents that carve out the submarine canyons in the continental shelf.

Describe the similarities and differences between gyres and currents?
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
What provides the thermal energy for currents to be formed?
The sun provides the thermal energy for currents to be formed.
What is a calciturbidite?
A calciturbidite is a turbidite - a sedimentary deposit formed by a turbidity current - composed of calcium carbonate.
