How do the ages of the sea sediments compare to the age of the oldest contential rock?
Continental rock is MUCH older than sediments in the sea (unless the sediments in the sea come from continental crust, in which case they would be the same age).
What are sediments produced by plants and animals in the sea called?
Sediments produced by plants and animals in the sea are called biogenic sediments. These sediments are composed of organic remains, such as shells, corals, and skeletal debris, which accumulate on the seafloor over time.
How do hydrogenous sediments form?
Hydrogenous sediments form when minerals precipitate directly from seawater as a result of chemical reactions or biological processes. For example, manganese nodules and phosphorite deposits are examples of hydrogenous sediments that form in this way in the deep sea. These sediments accumulate slowly over time on the ocean floor.
Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading
Are there bacterias in the deep sea?
how do deep sea bacteria survive
Where are most carbonate sediments deposited on earth today?
The deep sea.
Deep-sea sediments contribute to continental growth how?
Deep-sea sediments most likely contribute to continent growth by being scraped off in a subduction zone and left at the surface.

How do terrigenous sediments move from their source to the deep sea?
Due to long shore currents the suspended particles transported as a suspended load to the deep sea.

Where do the most sediments from the continents settle on?
The majority of sediments from continents settle in the oceans, especially in areas close to the coastlines where rivers deposit large amounts of sediment. These sediments can accumulate in continental shelves, deep sea trenches, and submarine canyons.
What is deep sea plain?
A deep sea plain, sometimes called an abyssal plain is a wide, almost level area that covers about two-thirds of the entire ocean floor. There is a complete absence of river sediments on this plain.
Deep-sea sediments most likely contribute to continent growth by being?
scraped off in a subduction zone and left at the surface
What has the author Patricia Paluso written?
Patricia Paluso has written: 'A guide to publications and subsequent investigations of Deep Sea Drilling Project materials' -- subject(s): Bibliography, Deep Sea Drilling Project, Marine sediments, Paleontology
What were the goals of the deep sea drilling project?
To investigate the evolution of ocean basins by core drilling of ocean sediments and underlying oceanic crust.

How do you get a deepseascale on Pokemon emerald?
You can get a choice between a DEEP SEA SCALE or a DEEP SEA TOOTH from Cap. Stern after the Scanner event.Wild Pokemon sometimes carry them too (rare) (NOTE: ONLY IN DIAMOND AND PEARL.)Deep Sea Scale : Clamperl, Chinchou, Relicanth.Deep Sea Tooth : Carvanha, Sharpedo.
