What type of rock makes up most of the ocean floor?
"Mid ocean would be basaltic pillow lavas, continental shelves \ contain coquina limestones made from shells. There are some sites around the Bahamas that have exposed limestones derived in a former time from limey oozes/muds. All in all by a vast percentage would be basalt." http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090908165526AAraFxL that's my citation
What is the type of rock that oceanic plates are made of?
Oceanic plates are primarily made of basalt, which is a type of volcanic rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma on the ocean floor. Basalt is dark in color and has a fine-grained texture.
A mountain in the desert is found to be made from the remains of ancient ocean organisms Which type of rock makes up the mountain?
The mountain is likely made of sedimentary rock, such as limestone or sandstone, that formed from the accumulation and compaction of the remains of ancient ocean organisms over millions of years.
What is the color and type of rock that forms oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges?
The color of the rock that forms oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges is dark gray to black. The rock is primarily basalt, which is a type of igneous rock formed from the solidification of molten lava.
What is the color and the type of rock that forms oceanic crust at mid ocean ridges?
The color of rock that forms oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges is usually dark gray to black. The type of rock is basalt, which is rich in iron and magnesium and forms from solidified lava.
What type igneous rock makes up most of the ocean floor?
Basalt
What type of rock is organic rock?
An Organic rock is an Sedimentary rock and it is made in the ocean from calcium and other minerals building up on the ocean floor :)
What is the habitat of a octopuse?
The octopus habitat depends on the type of octopus. The majroity of octopus makes it home on the ocean floor in cracks and crevices in the rock formations.
The shell of oysters collect on the ocean floor. What type of rock is going to form?
Eventually they will form limestone, a sedimentary rock.
What rock makes the sea floor?
The Clastic sedimentary rock is a rock made out of rock particles so if these rock particles float to the bottom of water such as an ocean or lake and will settle there. Hope this answered your question!! xD

What rock type is most abundant in the crust of the ocean floors?
The most abundant rock type in the ocean floor crust is basalt. This volcanic rock forms from the rapid cooling of lava at mid-ocean ridges and is a key component of oceanic crust. Basalt is typically dense and rich in iron and magnesium, distinguishing it from the continental crust, which is primarily composed of lighter granitic rocks.
What is the type of rock that oceanic plates are made of?
Oceanic plates are primarily made of basalt, which is a type of volcanic rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma on the ocean floor. Basalt is dark in color and has a fine-grained texture.
What is the type of crust formed on the ocean floor?
Oceanic crust, formed mostly of mafic rocks, or sima, is found on the ocean floor.
Which type of ocean floor sediment is biological in origin?
Biogenous
What type of rock are made mid-ocean ridges made of?
igneous rock
What type of rock is formed on ocean beds?
Sedimentary rocks are formed over existing basaltic rock on ocean beds.
