Turbidity currents are associated with the formation of graded beds, which are sedimentary structures characterized by a gradual change in grain size from coarser materials at the bottom to finer materials at the top. This occurs as the turbulent flow of sediment-laden water moves down a slope, depositing sediments in layers as the current slows. Graded bedding is commonly found in deep-sea environments and can also occur in river deltas and lake beds. These structures provide valuable insights into past depositional environments and sedimentary processes.
Created by a series of complex processes, submarine canyons continue to be carved by sporadic turbidity currents waterfalls of sand, gravel, and muddy sediments.
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.

Ocean currents follow regular patterns related to the Earth's rotation, prevailing winds, and differences in water density caused by temperature and salinity variations. These factors influence the direction and speed of the currents, creating complex circulation patterns in the oceans.

Turbidity measures the cloudiness of a liquid caused by suspended solids, while optical density measures the amount of light absorbed by a sample. They are related in the sense that turbidity can affect optical density measurements, but they are not the same. Turbidity is a measure of the scattering of light by particles in a sample, while optical density is a measure of the absorption of light by a sample.

The suffix of "sedimentary" is "-ary." In linguistics, a suffix is an affix that is added to the end of a word to change its meaning or form a new word. In this case, the suffix "-ary" is used to form an adjective meaning "related to or composed of sediment."
