Understanding Biogenous and Hydrogenous Sediments in Marine Environments

This text explores the various types of ocean sediments, focusing on biogenous materials found in upwelling areas and hydrogenous sediments such as manganese nodules. It highlights the significance of carbonate sedimentation, including coccolithophores and foraminifera, and discusses how long biogenous materials take to settle. The composition of deep ocean floor sediments is examined, noting the abundance of clay, CaCO3 ooze, and silica across different oceanic regions, with insights specifically pertaining to locations like the southwest coast of South Africa and the White Cliffs of Dover.
