👉 Turbidite is a geological formation that forms on the surface of water bodies due to the presence of large amounts of suspended matter, such as sand and silt. These particles can be either solid or liquid, depending on their size. The turbidity of a water body can vary widely depending on its location, depth, and other factors. Turbidity is often used in environmental science for describing the amount of light passing through the surface of water bodies, which can have implications for water quality
