What does the sediment the is closer to mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
Sediment closer to mid-ocean ridges is typically younger, coarser, and consists of more volcanic material compared to sediment farther away. This is because the closer proximity to the ridge results in a higher input of freshly erupted material from the underlying volcanic activity.
Where on the ocean floor is sediment the thickest?
the thickest accumulation of sediment on the ocean floor is at the CONTINENTAL SLOPES AND RISES. :)
What is the triangular or fan shaped deposit of sediment that forms where a river empties into an ocean or lake?
silt This trianguar deposit of sediment where a river empties into an ocean is called a delta.
Which type of ocean floor sediment is biological in origin?
Biogenous
Whose boarder is closer to the pacific ocean Nevada or Idaho?
Nevada's border is closer to the Pacific Ocean compared to Idaho. Nevada shares a border with California, which has a coastline along the Pacific Ocean, while Idaho is landlocked and does not directly border the ocean.
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is father away?
It's thinner
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
it is older

How does sediment that is closer to a mid-ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
Sediment closer to a mid-ocean ridge is typically younger, thinner, and composed of more volcanic material compared to sediment farther away. This is because the ridge is a site of active seafloor spreading where new oceanic crust is formed, leading to a higher rate of sedimentation near the ridge.
Why is there less sediment closer to the mid ocean ridge?
The basaltic crust becomes newer the closer it is to the ridge and has therefore had less time of exposure to sedimentation. New crustal rock is formed at the mid-oceanic ridge. An inch or two a year.
Is Atlantic or pacific farther from Ohio?
the alantic ocean is closer to alll parts of ohio therefore the pacific ocean is father away.
Whose border is closer to the Pacific Ocean Idaho or Nevada?
Nevada is closer to the Pacific Ocean than Idaho.
Is Chicago closer to Atlantic ocean or the pacific ocean?
Chicago is closer to the Atlantic Ocean
When sediment sinks into the ocean floor it is called?
When sediment sinks into the ocean floor, it is called sedimentation. Over time, layers of sediment build up and compress to form sedimentary rocks.
What type of sediment represents a relatively small portion of the overall sediment in the ocean?
hydrogenous
Is Africa closer to the United States crossing the Atlantic ocean or pacific ocean?
It is closer crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Is the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean closer to Chicago?
The Atlantic Ocean is closer to Chicago.
