Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
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.
What is the relationship between sea floor sediment thickness and mid-ocean ridge distance?
The further away a point is from the mid-ocean ridge, the deeper the sediment layer should be. Because the ocean floor is relatively new nearer the ridge, sediments have had less time to accumulate.
What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
What are the three types of ocean sediments?

How does the age of seafloor sediments change the increasing distance from the oceans ridge?
age increases
What underlies the unconsolidated sediments of the sea floor?
Probably consolidated sediments (sedimentary rock), then the rock basalt.
How are ocean floor sediments classified by physical compositions?
Meow
What comprises the actual sea floor beneath sediments?

The three types of ocean floor sediments are classified according to their?
Origin
Which are three types of ocean floor sediments?
terrigeneous, biogeneous, and hydrogeneous
What is thickness of sub flooring?
Generally speaking, the thickness of the plywood layed directly over floor joist.
