A turbidity current is a fast-moving flow of water that carries sediments, which are often composed of fine particles like silt and clay, as well as larger rocks and debris. These currents typically occur in underwater environments, such as river deltas, continental slopes, or deep-sea settings, and are often initiated by disturbances like underwater landslides, earthquakes, or sediment deposition.
