____ are a form of sediment gravity flows in which a turbulent mixture of sediment and seawater, which is more dense than seawater alone, flows downslope along the seafloor.
A) Turbidity currents
B) Rock dredges
C) Mudslides
D) Submarine fans

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches that of turbidity currents, which are a type of sediment gravity flows that occur underwater. They consist of a mixture of sediment and seawater that is denser than seawater alone, which flows downslope along the seafloor. Other choices like rock dredges and submarine fans are unrelated to sediment gravity flows, while mudslides are a specific type of sediment gravity flow that consist of cohesive sediment and are not necessarily denser than seawater.
