Two primary types of sediments on ocean bottom?

What is layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean called?

sediments
What does river deposit mean?
accumulated sediments on the bottom of the river
Where are the oldest layers of sediments located?
The oldest layers of sediments are typically found at the bottom of a sedimentary rock sequence, with the youngest layers at the top. Over time, new layers of sediments accumulate on top of older layers, creating a chronological sequence with the oldest layers at the bottom.
