The two main sources of sediment in the deep sea are:
(1) Coastal Erosion - rivers, wind-blown dust and sand (from the deserts), volcanic eruptions (ash), glacially dumped sediment - about 45%
(2) Dead organisms - shells and skeletons - about 55% The other two are least common: Precipitation from supersaturated water (less than 1%), and Extraterrestrial in origin (a tiny fraction of 1%)

What does solution mean in science?
Solution is a term in science referring to a mixture of two or more substances in which one substance has been dissolved into the other. The substance doing the dissolving is called a solvent while the substance dissolved is a solute.
When two substances combine to form a mixture the properties of substances what is it?
i have no idea :)
Is Colloids pure substanc or mixture?
Colloidal suspensions are heterogeneous; they necessarily contain more than one substance. You could make one out of two pure substances.
Whats a solute and a solvent?
Solute = the substance dissolved in a given solution. Solvent = a. the process by which a gas, liquid, or solid is dispersed homogeneously in a gas, liquid, or solid without chemical change. b. such a substance, as dissolved sugar or salt in solution. c. a homogeneous, molecular mixture of two or more substances.

What makes ocean water a solution?
Because there are thousands (for real) of things dissolved in it
What are two primary sources for the materials that comprise the dissolved components in seawater?
The two primary sources for dissolved components in seawater are weathering of rocks on land, which releases minerals into rivers and eventually the ocean, and gases released by volcanic activity. These sources contribute ions like sodium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium to seawater.
What is the difference between mixture and a soluton?
A mixture is when a substance consisting of two or more substances mixed together. A solution is is a substance with two or more substances that are completely dissolved in the other.
What is two or more substances dissolved evenly though out another substance?
I think the correct answer is element if i am not mistaking.
The two major dissolved gases in ocean water are?
The two major dissolved gases in ocean water are oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is essential for marine life to respire, while carbon dioxide plays a role in the ocean's carbon cycle and influences seawater acidity levels.
What is a solute in biology?
a homogenous mixture of two or more substances. in Biology solutions often consist of a solute dissolved in water which produces an aqueous solution
Which two dissolved solids in ocean water occur in the greatest amount?
Probably sodium chloride and calcium carbonate.
What are two sources of salt in ocean water?
Water and rocks what else ;0 ;/
What does solution mean in science?
Solution is a term in science referring to a mixture of two or more substances in which one substance has been dissolved into the other. The substance doing the dissolving is called a solvent while the substance dissolved is a solute.
What is a liquid solution?
A liquid solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances where one substance is dissolved in the other. The substance that is present in the largest amount is called the solvent, while the substance that is dissolved is called the solute. Examples include salt dissolved in water or sugar dissolved in tea.
What are the two primary sources for the materials that comprise the dissolved components in seawater?
Chemical weathering and out gassing
What is a solution A. a solid dissolved in a gas B. a solute and a solvent C. a liquid dissolved in a gas D. an amalgam of solids, liquids, and gases?
B. A solute and a solvent
Can you make solutions with liquid?
You cannot make a solution with liquids as a solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances dissolved with different solutes in a solvent.
