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 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, 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.
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.
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.

When sediment sinks into the ocean floor, it is called sedimentation. Over time, layers of sediment build up and compress to form sedimentary rocks.
broken up rocks
The ocean floor sediment contains unfathomable numbers of marine organism skeletons.

the crust will cool to form metamorphic rock
The ocean floor generally consists of basalt cooled from magma, and the overlying layers of sediment, both inorganic and organic.
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.
