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.

What does the diagram illustratemail about turbidity current?

The diagram illustrates the characteristics and behavior of a turbidity current, which is a dense, sediment-laden flow moving downslope through water. It typically occurs in underwater environments, such as river deltas or continental slopes, where sediment is disturbed and becomes suspended in water. The diagram may depict the flow's velocity, sediment concentration, and the formation of features like submarine canyons or fans as the current deposits sediments. Overall, it highlights the dynamic nature of turbidity currents and their role in shaping underwater landscapes.


The driving force for turbidity currents is?

The driving force of a turbidity current is obtained from the sediment, which renders the turbid water heavier than the clear water above.Turbiditycurrents are an example of density or Gravity_current


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 order will organelles sediment out as centrifugation speed is increased?

During centrifugation, organelles will sediment out based on their size, shape, and density. Typically, larger and denser organelles like nuclei will sediment out first at lower speeds, followed by mitochondria, lysosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum. Smaller and less dense organelles like ribosomes will be found in the pellet at higher speeds.


Definition of Ocean Surface Currents?

well to be 100% honest, a surface current is basically a current on the surface. This particular current moves in a stream-like fashion on the surface of the ocean. A surface current can be short, wide, deep, or narrow.

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.
