The continental margin of the pacific of the ocean are?
narrower than those of the Atlantic and are not covered with thick layers of sediment
As rivers flow into the ocean and deposit thick layers of sediment on the ocean floor what will the crust under the sediment do?
the crust will cool to form metamorphic rock
What is the thick slime on the ocean floor called?
Ooze.
What thick layer covers the ocean floor?
The mantle
Why are large areas of sea floor covered with thick layers of sediment containing calcium?
Other chemicals are removed from the water by organisms that use silica and calcium to make bones or shells. When the organisms die, these materials sink to the sea floor.
Why middle east is richer than Asia?
Adjacent seas were covered by shallow oceans. Over a period of millions of years the remains of marine animals and plants fell to the sea floor, they accumulated into thick layers and eventually were covered by layers of sand and silt. Over time, the immense weight of all of these layers compressed the lower layers into sedimentary rock. Bacterial actions, heat, and pressure converted the remains of the animals and plants into oil. The middle east was one covered in ocean, hence why they have so much sand, there are even places in the desert where you can go shark tooth hunting.
What are the agricultural products in Antarctica?
Antartica has no agriculture, the ground is covered with thick layers of ice.
What would be covered with thick turbidite layers?
deep-sea fan at the base of a continental slope
Which one of the following would most likely be covered with thick turbidite layers?
Since the following options are not stated a person will not know which would most likely be covered with thick turbidite layers. Including this information would allow a person to know the right answer.
What kind of sentence can you use with the word vegetation?
The forest floor was covered with thick vegetation.
Why are oil and gas often found together?
Oil and Gas are found together because they were formed hundreds of years ago when Canada was covered by shallow seas. Over millions of years remains of marine animals and plants fell to the ocean floor and built up in thick layers which were eventually covered by layers of sand and silt. These layers compressed into sedimentary rock and heat and pressure converterted it into oil and gas. it can be found under a non-porous rock layer in a porous rock layer.
The original concentration of dissolved minerals in a restricted ocean basin was enough to form only a thin everporite layer how thEN is it possib le that thick evaporite layers form there?
In a restricted ocean as opposed to a closed ocean, as the restricted ocean evaporates, more salty water enters from outside. This continuously replenishes the salt that is being deposited allowing for thick evaporate layers to form. Many examples actually show that the new water episodically enters the evaporating ocean.
