Bottom Current Sedimentation

Bottom Current Sedimentation is a sedimentary process within deep-sea environments characterized by the selective erosion, transport, and deposition of sediments by persistent near-bottom density-driven currents, distinguishing it from other deep-sea sedimentation mechanisms through its association with contour-following flow dynamics and formation of contourite deposits.
