What else can I help you with?
What is an abiotic that affects a fresh water ecosystem?
temperature, current, and turbidity A+temperature, current, and turbidity
What is density of a turbidity current is caused by?
mixing with sediment
Turbidity current density results from water mixing with what substance?
Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid. Turbidity current density results from water mixing with sediment particles.
What is an underwater avalanche is called?
An underwater avalanche is called a turbidity current. It is a fast-moving current of sediment and water that flows down a slope on the ocean floor, resembling an avalanche in terrestrial environments. Turbidity currents can be triggered by factors such as earthquakes, underwater landslides, or excess sediment supply.
Which type of current results from underwater landslides?
Turbidity currents result from underwater landslides. These currents are caused by sediment-rich water rapidly moving downslope due to gravity, carrying sediment and debris with them. Turbidity currents can be powerful and can affect marine ecosystems and underwater infrastructure.
What is an abiotic that affects a fresh water ecosystem?
temperature, current, and turbidity A+temperature, current, and turbidity
What does the diagram illustrate about turbidity currents?
"They move along the bottom."
Which is an example of a verticle current?
turbidity currents...
The density of a turbidity current is caused by?
mixing with sediment.
What is density of a turbidity current is caused by?

Turbidity current density results from water mixing with what substance?
Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid. Turbidity current density results from water mixing with sediment particles.
Why does a turbidity current move beneath the clear water that surrounds it?
A turbidity current is denser due to the sediment it carries, causing it to sink beneath the clearer, lighter water. This density difference results in the turbidity current flowing along the seafloor, transporting sediment and creating undersea canyons and deposits.
How are turbidity current and submarine canyons related?
By mud slides
What is an underwater avalanche is called?
An underwater avalanche is called a turbidity current. It is a fast-moving current of sediment and water that flows down a slope on the ocean floor, resembling an avalanche in terrestrial environments. Turbidity currents can be triggered by factors such as earthquakes, underwater landslides, or excess sediment supply.
What type of deposit that results from a turbidity current is a?
The type of deposit that results from a turbidity current is a sediment deposit, or a turbidite. This type of deposit makes the water denser, which makes it sink deeper while the clearer water rises.
How do you recognize an ancient turbidity current deposit now exposed in the mountain?
An ancient turbidity current deposit found in a mountain may be recognized by characteristic sedimentary structures such as graded bedding, cross-bedding, and lamination. These deposits often consist of fine-grained sediments that settled out of a high-energy underwater current. Additionally, fossils or paleocurrent indicators within the deposit can provide further evidence of its origin as a turbidity current.
What current is associated with downslope movements of dense sediment rich water?
Turbidity currents
