Abyssal plains are primarily dominated by fine-grained sediments, particularly clay and silt. These sediments are often composed of biogenic materials, such as the remains of microorganisms like foraminifera and diatoms, as well as terrigenous sediments that are transported from land by rivers and wind. The slow accumulation of these sediments results in the relatively flat and smooth surface characteristic of abyssal plains.
