Turbidity currents are caused by sand and mud on the continental shelf and slope that is dislodged and thrown into suspension.
Turbidity currents themselves are downslope movements of dense, sediment-laden water.

Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
No, false.
Powerful turbidity currents, earthquakes, or movements on a continental slope can form a submarine canyon.

"They move along the bottom."
Created by a series of complex processes, submarine canyons continue to be carved by sporadic turbidity currents waterfalls of sand, gravel, and muddy sediments.

turbidity is pollution, thus runoffs and fertilizer and anything that makes up pollution is turbidity.
