Basalt!
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.

Probably consolidated sediments (sedimentary rock), then the rock basalt.

beneath the floor
The Sea Floor
Origin
terrigeneous, biogeneous, and hydrogeneous
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
The further from the delta, the finer the sediments deposited.
neritic is near shore an covers about 1/4 of the ocean floor and pelagic is deep ocean basin and covers the other 3/4 of the ocean floor
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor
