What is formed on the bottom of the ocean where two plates collide?
continental slope
What are Solid particles that form layers at the bottom of ocean or lake?
Generically they are called sediments
Why do particles carried by a river settle to the bottom as the river enters the ocean?
Because the velocity of the river water decreases as it enters the ocean.
Near shore larger sand and gravel particles are moved along the ocean bottom by?
turbulence
Why the water of the ocean is salty?
When water goes to the ocean, most of the time its by a river. When rivers travel over land it picks up particles like salt. When the river meets the ocean at the rivers delta the slowing of the speed of the river causes the bigger sized particles to get deposited at the bottom of the ocean. The smaller particles(salt) remain in the water making the water salty.

What do sea scallops eat?
plankton and detritus (fallen particles from the ocean that collect at the bottom)
Why do particles settle on the bottom when river enters the ocean?
The particles are heavier than water and sink instead of floating.
