What is a siliceous shell?
Amorphous siliceous(silica contain)hard parts mostly found in radiolaria and heliozoa.
How a oceanic ooze is formed?
Oceanic ooze is soft mud that is calcareous or siliceous on they ocean floor. It is far beneath the surface of the ocean and is deposited by waves, contains the shells of one celled organisms.
What type of rock is siliceous volcanic glass?
Siliceous volcanic glass is also known as obsidian.
In what phase can you find iron and nickel in the mantle?
The mantle does not contain free Iron or Nickel. It is made of siliceous minerals.
When did The Ooze happen?
The Ooze happened in 1995.
What is the difference between calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze?
Calcareous ooze is composed of calcium carbonate, while siliceous ooze is made from silicon oxide.
What is siliceous ooze mostly composed of what?
It is a mixture of water and the silica shell remains of marine plankton.
What minerals is diatomaceous ooze skeleton composed of?
siliceous mineral
What are the two types of biogenous sediments?
Two types of biogenous sediments are calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze.
Which type of sediment is made up mainly of the shells of diatoms and radiolarians?
We know that limestone is made up of those things, and some others. We also know that chalk, a kind of limestone, is composed mainly of tiny shells made of a mineral called calcite.
What are oozes named after?
What they are made of. Calcareous ooze is made from calium carbnate shells of cooclithophores, foraminifera, and other things with carbonate shells. Siliceous ooze is made of silica shells of radiolaria (really cool looking), diatoms, and anything else with a silica shell.

What type of soil is in oceans biomes?
The ocean floor is composed of three different types of soil, known as pelagic sediments or marine sediments. They include calcareous ooze, red clay and siliceous ooze.
What is silicate minerals?
The minerals that contain silica. This would include quartz, as well as the silicates. The siliceous ooze is the biogenic sediment, containing the remains of organisms whose skeleton is based on silicates.
Which type of sediment is made up mainly of the shells of diatoms?
Siliceous
Which type of material does biogenous sediment form?
Two types of biogenous sediments are calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze.
