| Definitionskos:definition | As fluid content increases due to continued downslope movement, a debris flow can evolve into a turbulent flow such as a turbidity current where the mobilised material is supported by a fluid. Turbidity currents can travel up to thousands of kilometres over very gentle slopes (Bagnold, 1962) before their dissipation and deposition. |
