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. :)
Ooze on the ocean floor is formed from the remains of which of these?
Ooze on the ocean floor is formed from the remains of marine organisms like phytoplankton and zooplankton, as well as shells and skeletons of marine animals. Over time, these organic materials accumulate and form sediment on the ocean floor.
Flat seafloor in the deep ocean formed when deposits of sediment filled valleys?
Flat seafloor in the deep ocean, known as abyssal plains, is formed over time as sediment accumulates in the valleys and depressions of the ocean floor. This sediment is often carried by underwater currents and deposited in these low-lying areas, creating a smooth and flat seafloor surface.
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.
Which feature of the sea floor is cut by turbidity currents?
Submarine canyons are a common feature of the sea floor that can be cut by turbidity currents. These currents are fast-moving underwater sediment flows that can transport large amounts of sediment and carve deep channels into the ocean floor. With their high energy and ability to transport sediment, turbidity currents are capable of reshaping submarine canyons over time.
What type of ocean floor sediment is biological in origin?
Novanet answer: Biogenous.
What type of ocean-floor sediment is biological in origin?
Novanet answer: Biogenous.
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 is an ocean floor sediment?
broken up rocks
Do skeletons exist on the ocean floor?
The ocean floor sediment contains unfathomable numbers of marine organism skeletons.
How does sediment reach the ocean floor?
i just dont know !
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 ocean floor covered with thick layers of?
Sexual coment
How does the carbon end up as sediment on the bottom of the ocean floor?
fool
As rivers flow into the ocean and deposit thick layers of sediment on the ocean floor what will the crust under the sediment do?
the crust will cool to form metamorphic rock
Which best describes the composition of the ocean floor?
The ocean floor generally consists of basalt cooled from magma, and the overlying layers of sediment, both inorganic and organic.
What is the relationship between sea floor sediment thickness and mid-ocean ridge distance?
The further away a point is from the mid-ocean ridge, the deeper the sediment layer should be. Because the ocean floor is relatively new nearer the ridge, sediments have had less time to accumulate.
