Where are decaying organic matter and sediment found in the ocean?
continental shelf. My question was : Decaying organic matter and sediment are found in the ocean's... But the answer you provided me wasn't right. The right answer was : Abyssal Plains.
How does volcanic dust become sediment in the deep-ocean basins?
The dust falls from the atmosphere over the ocean, sinks through the water column and ends up as sediments on the ocean floor.

What is Hemipelagic sediment?
Hemipelagic sediment is deep-sea sediment that is commonly deposited near continental margins. More than 25% of the fraction coarser than 5 microns is either terrigenous, volcanogenic, and/or neritic in orign.
What is the name of the muddy sediment that is found where the river meets the ocean called?
silt
Why are very fossils found in rocks made from sediment that laid down in deep ocean waters?
Isn't it, " Why are very FEW fossils found in rocks made from sediment that laid down in deep ocean waters?"and i thought you would know.
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.
Narrow valleys in the ocean floor found near island or coastal mountain ranges?
Trenches
Manganese nodules are an example of what type of sediment?
Manganese nodules are an example of hydrogenous sediment, which forms directly from ocean water through chemical precipitation. They are typically found on the deep ocean floor.
The accumulation of sediment found along the shore of a lake or ocean is called?
The accumulation of sediment found along the shore of a lake or ocean is called a beach. Beaches are formed by the deposition of sand, gravel, and other sediments carried by waves and currents, often shaped by tides and weather patterns.
What process makes sediment pile up on the ocean floor?
Sediment piles up on the ocean floor primarily through the process of sedimentation, which occurs when particles settle out of water due to gravity. This can happen as a result of erosion from land, where rivers transport sediment to the ocean, or through the accumulation of organic materials and mineral particles that fall from the water column. Additionally, ocean currents can help distribute and deposit sediments in various marine environments, contributing to the formation of sedimentary layers over time.
What are long narrow valleys in the ocean floor found near islands or coastal mountain ranges?
trenches
