Domain-specific¶
- Deposition
- As it spreads onto the flat abyssal plain and decelerates, its carrying capacity falls below its load, and it sheds material in settling-velocity order: coarse sand drops first at the base, then progressively finer sand, silt, and finally mud as the current wanes
This sourceKuenen and Migliorini's paper arguing that high-density turbidity currents deposited graded beds, with coarse material lying on the fine-grained top of the bed beneath.

“The authors believe turbidity currents of high density may be invoked to have supplied the sediment and deposited it in graded beds.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
