Abstract: Various processes operate deepwater environment and interplay in very complex way. Gravity (or gravity current) process may act in a variety of ways and systematic evolution may happen between them. Bottom currents (commonly refer as contour current) include those driven by thermocline circulation, those driven by wind, and tidal bottom current running up and down in canyons. Internal wave may be one important geological forces. In all such processes acting either isolate or jointly the type and genesis of sediment of deepwater environment is very complex, and own potential palaeoclimate information and hydrocarbon perspective.
