How is turbidity measured?
Turbidity (clarity) of water can be measured with a WAV monitor of a Nephelometer. WAV monitors use a turbidity tube that allows an estimate of water quality based on a visual assessment of the amount of light that is scattered and absorbed in the water sample. This method is useful during and immediately after rain storms. When measuring turbidity in the laboratory, a meter called a Nephelometer is used. It measures the amount of light scattered by the particles in the water in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs). Deb
Why do isotherms not run parallel?
Because the unequal distribution of land and water and ocean currents influence their direction.
When you connect the positive to the negative and the negative to the positive does the battery dies?
If you connect the positive and the negative end of a battery directly with a cable, (1) you'll get dangerously high currents, and (2) the battery will quickly run out of energy. The battery itself might also get damaged, due to the high currents.
What factors play a large role in determining climate?
Global winds, insolation, large bodies of water and ocean currents.
Why do eddy currents form loops of irregular shapes?
maybe because they are caused due to a time varying magnetic field
What has the author Torben Rud Pallesen written?
Torben Rud Pallesen has written: 'Turbidity currents' -- subject(s): Turbidity currents
Which is an example of a verticle current?
turbidity currents...
What causes turbidity currents?
Turbidity currents are caused by sand and mud on the continental shelf and slope that is dislodged and thrown into suspension. Turbidity currents themselves are downslope movements of dense, sediment-laden water. Source: I'm in a college level geology course.
What is the role of density in turbidity currents?
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
Are tidal bulges caused by turbidity currents?
No, false.
How is an ocean submarine canyon formed?
Powerful turbidity currents, earthquakes, or movements on a continental slope can form a submarine canyon.
In which zone would you expect to find turbidity currents?
uranas
What features of the seafloor are caused by turbidity currents?
submarine canyons
What does the diagram illustrate about turbidity currents?
"They move along the bottom."
How are turbidity currents related to submarine canyons?
Created by a series of complex processes, submarine canyons continue to be carved by sporadic turbidity currents waterfalls of sand, gravel, and muddy sediments.
