High-density Turbidity Currents

High-Density Turbidity Currents is a type of sediment gravity flow characterized by high sediment concentration and turbulent fluid support, distinguished from low-density counterparts by its ability to generate grain-to-grain interactions and sustained turbulent suspension, resulting in massive to normally graded bedding with distinctive erosional and depositional structures in deep-marine environments.
