What else can I help you with?
The ultimate source of most of the material found on the surface of abyssal plains is?
sediments carried to the ocean by continental rivers
The saltiness of the ocean comes mostly from?
The saltiness of the ocean mainly comes from the mineral content of the Earth's crust, which gets dissolved and carried into the ocean by rivers. The primary components of ocean salt are sodium and chloride ions, found in compounds like sodium chloride (table salt).
What are rivers in the ocean called?
Currents
What land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the river and mouth is called?
The land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth is called a delta. The delta is also where the river enters the ocean or lake.

What are fast moving rivers in the ocean?
Fast moving rivers int he ocean are called currents. Currents are caused by the Earth's rotation. An ocean current is continuous.
What are fast moving rivers in the ocean called?
Fast-moving rivers in the ocean are called ocean currents. These currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, water density, temperature, and the shape of the ocean floor. They play a crucial role in shaping global climate patterns and distributing heat around the Earth.
Most of the loose material that settles on the ocean floor probably comes from?
what is the loose material that settles on the bottom of the ocean called
Warm ocean water is carried throughout the northern Atlantic Ocean through currents called the?
Gulf Stream
What is a river inside an ocean called?
A current. Like the Gulf Stream is a current - the California Current is the flow of water from the Gulf of Alaska down to Mexico and is a "river in the ocean."
Were do the dissolved salts in ocean water come from?
salt in the ocean comes from dissolved minerals in rocks carried by streams and rivers, and especially from hydrothermal vents at the ocean floor. When water evaporates from the ocean, the minerals (salts) stay behind, so this salt doesn't go away, but only accumulates over time. Inland lakes generally have rivers leading in AND rivers leading out, so the water is constantly moving through, which keep them fresh.
What are the accomplishments of the Moche?
They dug canals that carried water from rivers in the Andes to their desert homeland. They also hunted llamas and guinea pig and fished in the Pacific Ocean.
