Calculate the density of the following hypothetical turbidity current. 1 liter of sediment/water mixture comprised of 900 ml of seawater (1.035g/cm) and 100ml of fine quartz sand (2.65 g/cm3). (1 ml= 1cm°) This is just a one-part sediment to nine parts water mixture so set up your equation as: 0.9(density of seawater) + 0.1(density of quartz) =
