Generically they are called sediments
These are sediment particles, such as sand, silt, and clay, that settle down due to gravity. Over time, these sediments accumulate to form layers called sedimentary deposits.
turbulence
Sedimentary rock is formed from particles that have settled at the bottom of a lake or ocean, becoming compressed and cemented over time. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Particles settle at the mouth of a river when the river water mixes with the calmer ocean water, causing a decrease in flow velocity. This reduction in velocity leads to sediment settling as the river's capacity to transport particles decreases. Additionally, the ocean's higher salinity can also play a role in causing sediment particles to settle due to changes in water density.
The ocean is salty because of the minerals and salts that are carried into it by rivers and streams. As water flows over rocks and soil, it picks up minerals such as salt (sodium chloride) and carries them into the ocean. Over time, these minerals accumulate in the ocean, leading to its saltiness.
how might the particles that make up a snowman end up in the ocean
An example of deposition is when sediments settle and accumulate at the bottom of a river or ocean over time, forming layers of sedimentary rock. This process occurs as the energy of moving water decreases, allowing particles to be deposited and build up into solid rock formations.
Download google earth. In layers on right bottom select OCEAN
Solid particles such as dust get into the air when wind picks them up and carries them. Other particles such as salt are picked up by ocean spray.
Seismic reflection
The particles are heavier than water and sink instead of floating.
The ocean layers are sunlit, twilight, midnight,and Abyss
I have no idea I was kind of looking for the answer
plankton and detritus (fallen particles from the ocean that collect at the bottom)
the layers of the ocean are the Sunlight or europhotic zone, twilight or disphotic zone, midnight or aphotic zone and the abyss zone. From the surface to the bottom
the layers of the ocean are the Sunlight or europhotic zone, twilight or disphotic zone, midnight or aphotic zone and the abyss zone. From the surface to the bottom
Yes, there is clay at the bottom of the ocean. Clay particles are tiny mineral particles that settle on the ocean floor over time. They can come from sources like erosion of rocks on land or volcanic activity.
Because the velocity of the river water decreases as it enters the ocean.
