| 1. | Then turbidity currents rush down the canyon like giant undersea avalanches.
|
| 2. | The rock sequence formed by a turbidity current is called a turbidite.
|
| 3. | Geologists now attribute its formation to submarine avalanches or strong turbidity currents.
|
| 4. | Turbidity currents are often triggered by tectonic disturbances of the sea floor.
|
| 5. | Some of the largest antidunes on Earth are formed by turbidity currents.
|
| 6. | Aeolian turbidity currents are better known as dust storms.
|
| 7. | The Bouma sequence is deposited during waning flow as turbidity currents move downslope.
|
| 8. | These levees are formed by the overspilling and flow stripping of turbidity currents.
|
| 9. | The material is then reworked by turbidity currents to achieve their current form.
|
| 10. | The major mechanism of canyon erosion is now thought to be turbidity currents and underwater landslides.
