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.

Where cool dense water sinks it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
What is a synonym for sedimentary?
i dont know im doing science homewok and i need this answer this
Which type of pressure is associated with cool rising air?
low pressure. because warm air is less dense. so it's pressure is also low.( less dense because because of the heat( warm air = hot air) the molecules of the air is very active. so the the are not close to each other which means less dense)
Why do rivers deposit heavier sediments first and then lighter sediment?
More dense material is less buoyant in water than less dense material of equal volume. Sediment shape also plays a role in deposition sequence as material with angular irregular surfaces are more likely to be carried by water flow than smooth surfaces, due to friction with the water. Finally, the size of the sediment particle, particularly of rock material, may be most critical in the sequence of deposition; larger particles are the first to overcome the power of friction encountered in moving water, via gravity.
When the mantle is heated the magma rises because?
When it is heated it becomes less dense (i.e. lighter). The more dense (i.e. heavier) magma sinks while the less dense magma rises to the top. It will eventually cool again causing a convection current within the mantle.
What current is associated with downslope movements of dense sediment rich water?
Turbidity currents
What is associated with downslope movements of dense sediment-rich water?
Turbidity currents
When sediment is deposited by water which particles will sink last?
The smallest, least dense particles.
What causes turbidity currents?
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. Source: I'm in a college level geology course.
What kind of current froms when more dense seawater move toward less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
Fibroblasts and protein fibers are associated with both?
Dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues
What causes the density current in the mediterranean?
the answer to this question is a density current forms when more dense seawater sinks beneath less dense seawater
Which of these could you find in the benthic zone of a lake plankton turtles sediment or plants?
You would fine sediment in the benthic zone, or bottom, of a lake.
What forms when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
Density current
How can heavy rains create mudflows?
Water from the rain mixes with loose sediment, forming a dense slurry that can flow downhill.
