How do lithogenous sediments differ from biogenous sediments?
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor
What does a rock consist of?
Small solid materials that come from pieces of rocks and living organisms
Sediment that originates from the continents is called?
Marine sediments are typically terrigenous in nature, which means they came from the land. Sediments that originate from the continents are called terrigenous.
What is sand bits of rock and the remains of organisms called?
They are all sediments.
Is natural gas is formed from dead organisms buried in sediments?
yes
What does the moving water have in it?
Marine life and oxygen for those organisms to survive ! And sediments, which are none living !

Where did organic chemistry originate from?
It was a natural progression from chemical,
Sediments made from microscopic shells that settle to the bottom when the organisms that produced them die are called?
Biogeneous sediments
Which type of material does biogenous sediment form?
Two types of biogenous sediments are calcareous ooze and siliceous ooze.
How is petroleum formed?
scientists think that petroleum formed from the remains of plankton and other microscopic protists, plants, and animals living in shallow seas millions of years ago. The remains of these organisms settled on the ocean floor and were covered by sediments. Over millions of years, the pressure and heat produced by the sediments coverted the remains of these organisms into a syrupy liquid.

They are all sediments.
Is natural gas is formed from dead organisms buried in sediments?
yes
Are there more living organisms than non living organisms?
There are no non-living organisms, unless you mean dead organisms.
Living organisms come from other living organisms?
All living organisms have to have a host to create other organisms. This includes micro organisms as well as bacterial organisms
