Deep ocean sediments are thickest where the underlying crust is?
oldest
Describe how new rock materials can be added to a continent?
They can be added by deep-sea sediments, igneous rocks, river sediments, and terranes.
Two primary types of sediments on ocean bottom?
There are two types of deep ocean sediments, abyssal clay and biogenous oozes. Abyssal clays are fine-grained sediment, while biogenous ooze is composed of the hard parts of microscopic organisms.
What are sedimentary structures and why are they so important?
sedimentary structures are important for the classification of sandstone. deep water sediments are deposited by turbidity currents and characterized by a set of sedimentary structures. shallow water sediments are deposited by traction currents and characterized by set of sedimentary structures.
How deep are gas lines buried?
Main lines are generally found at least 24 inches deep, while service lines are generally found at least 18 inches deep. However this may change due to regrading of the surface after the original burial of the lines.
How do sediments change over time?
The get compacted with burial and dewater. The grains from which they are made become cemented together and the sediments become sedimentary rocks.
Deep ocean sediments are thickest where the underlying crust is?
oldest
Deep-sea sediments contribute to continental growth how?
Deep-sea sediments most likely contribute to continent growth by being scraped off in a subduction zone and left at the surface.

Where are most carbonate sediments deposited on earth today?
The deep sea.
Deep ocean sediments is associated with which of the bioeochemical cycles?
Phosphorus Cycle
Deep ocean sediments is associated with what biogeochemical cycles?
Phosphorus cycle
Deep ocean sediments is associated with which of the biogeochemical cycles?
phosphorus cycle
Does burial of sediments make igneous rocks?
No all it does is caliboralitate with rocks and it might start hispemideadilitadigerating and mess up your soil.
Deep ocean sediments are associated with which of the biogeochemical cycles?
They are associated with the phosphorus cycle.
What is needed in order for sedimentary rocks to form from fragments?
Foremost would be pressure, usually from burial by additional sediments. The other processes take it from there.
