Materials that become sediment through changes in this quantity are classified according to theBouma sequence. This property is typically measured with Jackson Units, which uses the visibility ofa flame as a standard of reference. Although it is not transparency, a circle with 2 black and 2 whiteregions is used to measure this property of a fluid - that apparatus is the Secchi Disk. Circulationdriven by this quantity can be induced by (*) soil liquefaction. Adding plankton or runoff to a liquidincreases this quantity, which causes sediment to flow underwater. For 10 points, name this measure of amurkiness of water, typically caused by particles suspended in the liqui
