What kind of density current is caused by muddy rapidly flowing mixture of sediment and water?

A turbidity current is a density current that occurs when mud or silt mixes with seawater. This is the result of the increase in the density of the water itself.

Is sedimentary rock homogeneous?
Not usually, due to the various sources of the sediments it contains.
What is the mixture of sediment a glacier deposits on the surface?
till
When water evaporates from a body of water what kind of sediment is left behind?
The sediment is a mixture of sand, soil, salts, detritus.
What causes certain liquids to float above others?
the density of each of the fats. the higher density, the lower it will be in a mixture
What is it called when a mixture that appears to the same composition color and density and is mixed at the molecular level?
Solution: A mixture that appears to have the same composition, color, density, and taste, and is mixed at the atomic or molecular level.
What rocks are a mix of rounded pebbels and sand?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when flowing water deposits sediment. They tend to have a rounded shape, because the flowing water smooths out their shape.

When water evaporates from a body of water what kind of sediment is left behind?
The sediment is a mixture of sand, soil, salts, detritus.
Is density a characteristic of a mixture?
Yes
What is the vapour density of equimolar mixture of methane and oxygen?
The vapour density of equimolar mixture of methane and oxygen is 0.0831 lbm/ft3.
What physic property of substances makes it possible to separate a mixture by spinning at high speed?
Density allows a mixture to be separated by centrifugation.
Can density be used to separate mixture?
Yes
What is the density in siltstone?
Silt is a mixture, not a pure substance. The density would depend on the mixture of minerals that make up the silt. Sand (quartz) has a density of about 2.5 g/cm3. If the silt is mostly sand then that would be a good approximation of the density.
What is the effect of density on the friction angle of sands?
The friction angle of the mixture increases the relative density.
What is The matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid?
The layer that would settle at the bottom of a bottle would be the one with the biggest density. For example, if you would have a mixture of water and an ether, the ether would be on top because it has the smallest density.
Mixture of sediments deposited by a glacier?
the correct answer is till. this sediment, deposited directly from glacier ice is till.
