Low-density Turbidity Currents

Low-Density Turbidity Currents is a type of turbidity current characterized by relatively low sediment concentration and turbulent suspension, in which the flow dynamics are dominated by grain-to-fluid interactions and result in the deposition of finely stratified turbidites typically associated with distal parts of submarine fan systems.
