A name made up by someone who doesn't understand chemical nomenclature nearly as well as they think they do. Most likely they were trying to come up with a fancy word for "water".
"Hydrogenous" is just silly; beyond the problem of making the root of hydrogen "hydrogen-" rather than the more proper hydr- (cf "hydride"), it implies that hydrogen has at least two common positive oxidation states, of which +1 is the lower. This is, of course, nonsense, since hydrogen has one proton and +1 is therefore the highest (and only) possible positive oxidation state.
It's just barely possible that they thought the existence of hydrogen peroxide (empirical formula: HO) implied that hydrogen might have a +2 oxidation state. This is still wrong, though, it's just wrong in a different way.

What type of the sediment forms from minerals that crystallize from seawater?
hydrogenous sediment
Are manganese nodules examples of biogenous sediment?
No. It is a type of Hydrogenous sediment.
Manganese nodules are an example of what type of sediment?
salt precipitating out of the seawater
Minerals that crystallize directly from seawater are examples of?
Minerals that crystallize directly from seawater are examples of hydrogenous sediment.
What is the name for the compound Cu2O?
Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
Calcium carbonate is a type of hydrogenous sediment that can be buried and hardened into .?
Calcium oxide.
What is hydrogenous sediment?
Hydrogenous sediments are formed when minerals precipitate from the ocean, or they can be formed when minerals in the water react with older sediments.
Is not a hydrogenous sediment?
Calcareous ooze
What type of sediment forms from mineral that crystallize from seawater?
not a hydrogenous sediment?
Manganese nodule is what kind of sediment?
Manganese nodules are polymetallic concretions found on the ocean floor and are formed through a slow process of precipitation and accumulation of manganese and other metals. They are a type of sediment known as hydrogenous sediment, as they form directly from seawater and not from the breakdown of rocks or organic materials.
What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
How do hydrogenous sediments form?
Hydrogenous sediments form when minerals precipitate directly from seawater as a result of chemical reactions or biological processes. For example, manganese nodules and phosphorite deposits are examples of hydrogenous sediments that form in this way in the deep sea. These sediments accumulate slowly over time on the ocean floor.
What is hydrogenous material?
It's material found in bottom sediment or in the water column of a body of water that was precipitated out of stuff in the water, ie. hydrogenous material does not come from a terrestrial, cosmic or biological source.
What type of the sediment forms from minerals that crystallize from seawater?
hydrogenous sediment
Are manganese nodules examples of biogenous sediment?
No. It is a type of Hydrogenous sediment.
What is hydrogenous sediment is made up of?
minerals that crystalize directly from ocean waters
Manganese nodules are an example of what type of sediment?
salt precipitating out of the seawater
