How a oceanic ooze is formed?
Oceanic ooze is soft mud that is calcareous or siliceous on they ocean floor. It is far beneath the surface of the ocean and is deposited by waves, contains the shells of one celled organisms.
How are forams different from amoebas?
Amoebas do not grow any hard calcareous shells while Foraminifera do.
What is a calcareous shell?
Gravel made mostly of calcium carbonate, often in the form of limestone.
What is the chemical difference between radiolarian and foraminifera?
The chemical differences between Radiolarian and Foraminifera are in the types of shell casts they have developed. Radiolarians have siliceous shells, whereas Foraminifera have calcareous shells.
What sediment consist of mostly microscopic shells and hard parts of organisms?
The sediments that do consists of mostly microscopic shells and hard parts of organisms is Clay.
Which type of material does biogenous sediment form?
Two types of biogenous sediments are calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze.
What three steps are required for calcareous ooze to exist below the CCD?
deposition of calcite shells above the CCD, cover of these shells by a non-calcareous material, and movement of the sea floor over millions of years

Sediments made from microscopic shells that settle to the bottom when the organisms that produced them die are called?
Biogeneous sediments
What are oozes named after?
What they are made of. Calcareous ooze is made from calium carbnate shells of cooclithophores, foraminifera, and other things with carbonate shells. Siliceous ooze is made of silica shells of radiolaria (really cool looking), diatoms, and anything else with a silica shell.
When did shells evolved?
Organisms evolved 550 Ma to form shells. when the Conditions were right for formation of shells.

What element is stored in the shells and skeletons of living organisms?
Calcium are the main composite of shells and bones.
