DescriptionConvective sedimentation beneath a buoyant plumes can lead to a secondary turbidity current.tif
English: This figure shows three photos of an experiment on convective sedimentation. In a) a fresher buoyant but sediment laden plume enters a saline tank. Initially it propagates to the right as a gravity current. In b) plumes of dense sediment can be seen to descend from the surface plume - this process is known as "convective sedimentation". In c) there is now enough dense material reaching the base of the tank that a secondary turbidity current forms.
