Which type of ocean floor sediment is biological in origin?
Biogenous
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 does calcium carbonate that settles out of ocean water forms?
Calcium carbonate that settles out of ocean water forms sedimentary deposits, primarily in the form of limestone and chalk. These deposits accumulate over time from the shells and skeletons of marine organisms, such as corals and mollusks. When these organisms die, their calcium carbonate structures contribute to the sediment on the ocean floor, eventually lithifying into rock formations. This process plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle and helps regulate Earth's climate.
What are large flat areas of the ocean floor?
Large flat areas of the ocean floor are called abyssal plains. These regions are typically covered in thick layers of fine sediment and are among the flattest, most featureless parts of the ocean floor. Abyssal plains are found at depths between 3,000 and 6,000 meters.
How does deposition from water occur?
Deposition from water occurs when sediment, such as sand or silt, settles out of the water and accumulates on the riverbed, lake bed, or ocean floor. This process is driven by a decrease in the energy of the water, which is usually caused by factors such as decreased flow velocity or changes in water temperature. Over time, the sediment builds up layer by layer, forming sedimentary rock.
Most of the loose material that settles on the ocean floor probably comes from?

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.
