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

minerals that crystalize directly from ocean waters
What is made when sediments fill in a cavity made when an object decayed and the sediments harden into rock?
Cast.
Is not a hydrogenous sediment?
Calcareous ooze
What type of sediment forms from mineral that crystallize from seawater?
not a hydrogenous sediment?
How do sediments get made?
Sediments are made when weathering pushes down on sedimentary rocks and sediments are formed some people think it is weathering and erosion, but it is just weathering. Sydney Banks
Sediments made from microscopic shells that settle to the bottom when the organisms that produced them die are called?
Biogeneous sediments
Is sandstone made up of the smallest sediments?
no
