How are radiolarian ooze formed?

Radiolarian ooze is formed by the accumulation of silica skeletons of tiny marine organisms called radiolarians. These skeletons sink to the ocean floor after the radiolarians die, creating a sediment known as ooze. Over time, the ooze can accumulate and compact to form layers and eventually turn into rock.
