What are ocean sediments?
Ocean sediments are deposits of materials(organic or in-organic) at the substractum of the ocean.
What does the oceans density stratification have to do with biogeochemical cycles?
Ocean density stratification affects biogeochemical cycles by influencing the distribution and movement of nutrients, gases, and organisms within the water column. Denser, colder water typically resides deeper, while warmer, less dense water is found at the surface, creating layers that can limit mixing. This stratification can restrict the upward flow of nutrients from deeper waters to the surface, impacting primary production and the overall health of marine ecosystems. Consequently, changes in stratification due to climate change can alter the rates of carbon cycling and other essential biogeochemical processes in the ocean.
What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
Does the Earth's ocean have sulfur?
Yes, the Earth's ocean does contain sulfur. Sulfur compounds can be found in seawater in the form of sulfate ions, which are essential for marine organisms and contribute to the ocean's biogeochemical cycles. Additionally, volcanic activity on the seafloor can release sulfur into the water.

What can influence the climate of a continent?

Where do Sediments tend to build up in the ocean?
Sediments build up in the Abyssal plain.
Sediments form a where the river meets the ocean?
The sediments are called silt or alluvium. The land formed from these sedimants where the river meets the ocean is a delta.
What is the relationship between the distance from a river delta into the ocean and the size of sediments deposited on the ocean floor?
The further from the delta, the finer the sediments deposited.
