A turbidite is the geologic deposit of a turbidity current, which is a type of amalgamation of fluidal and sediment gravity flow responsible for distributing vast amounts of clastic sediment into the …

turbidite, a type of sedimentary rock composed of layered particles that grade upward from coarser to finer sizes and are thought to have originated from ancient turbidity currents in the …

The lithified product of a turbidity current is a turbidite, which is a graded layer that generally contains a coarse-grained base and a fine-grained top (conglomerate to coarse sandstone to …

Now that we have a better grasp of what a turbidite is, let's look at a step by step outline of how they occur. Turbidity flows start with slope failure in soft sediment. Slopes become …

The deposition of a classic turbidite by a surge-type turbidity current, as envisaged by conceptual models, is widely considered a discrete event of continuous sediment accumulation at a falling …

A turbidite is defined as a deep-marine graded sandstone bed deposited by turbidity currents, which are subaqueous sediment gravity flows triggered by catastrophic events like floods, …

Turbidite facies analysis and the resulting facies model led to the discovery of a new process. Sedimentologists had characterized turbidites all over the world.
