Turbidite - Wikipedia
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 - (Intro to Geology) - Vocab, Definition, Explanations
A turbidite is a sedimentary deposit formed by the rapid flow of sediment-laden water down a slope, typically in underwater environments like continental slopes and deep-sea basins.
