Lemurian On another thread, someone posited that two items, one sinking to the bottom in 15 minutes, the other taking 30 mins, in a ONE KNOT CURRENT, they will be separated by 1500 ft at their resting places.
also in range are sinking times between ca. 10 an 60 min (600s-3600s) for falling a vertical distanc of 4000m in water, and a deap water currend with only 0,20 m/s (0.4 kn)......

the deapwater currend with this low speed then flow very laminar! and even the heavy debris need his time to reach this deapness.... as we tried to calculatet here before 4 weeks
