What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.

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.
How do icebergs contribute to ocean-basin sediments?
we
How are neritic sediments different form pelagic sediments?
Neritic sediments are found in shallow water close to the coast, while pelagic sediments are found in deep open ocean areas. Neritic sediments tend to be coarser and more influenced by terrestrial input, while pelagic sediments are finer and accumulate slowly over time.
What ocean has the largest input of fresh water and sediments to land?
atlantic ocean
Does the thickness of ocean floor sediments decrease with distance from an ocean ridge?
yes
What are four features of the ocean?
turbidity currents deposit sediments on the ocean floor
Where are the youngest sediments on the ocean floor located?
The youngest sediments on the ocean floor are typically found at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are diverging. As magma rises to the surface and solidifies, it creates new oceanic crust, which is then covered by recently deposited sediments. These areas are characterized by active geological processes, leading to minimal accumulation of older sediments compared to other regions of the ocean floor.
Ocean sediments are classified primarily by?
