What does the sediment the is closer to mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
The closer the sediment is to the mid-ocean ridge, the younger it is. The oldest bedrock is found the farthest away from it.
Where is the most anaerobic zone in the ocean?
sediment on the ocean floor
Where on the ocean floor is sediment the thickest?
the thickest accumulation of sediment on the ocean floor is at the CONTINENTAL SLOPES AND RISES. :)

Why is there less sediment closer to the mid ocean ridge?
The basaltic crust becomes newer the closer it is to the ridge and has therefore had less time of exposure to sedimentation. New crustal rock is formed at the mid-oceanic ridge. An inch or two a year.
What type of sediment represents a relatively small portion of the overall sediment in the ocean?
