Deep-Sea Sediments. Sediments are particles (broken pieces, bits of stuff) that cover the ocean floor. Ocean sediments are typically “broken” into four categories: rocks carried off the land (lithogenous sediments), shells and other remains of dead organisms (biogenous sediments), chemicals that solidify out of ocean water (hydrogenous sediments), and dust and other particles that fall from outer space(cosmogenous sediments). 2, record 1, English, - deep%2Dsea%20deposit

Les sédiments de mers profondes. Le domaine marin [...] ne forme pas une seule unité de sédimentation; deux grandes catégories de dépôts le composent : les dépôts littoraux ou néritiques recouvrant le plateau continental et son rebord, et les dépôts abysso-pélagiques, sur les fonds dépassant 2 000 m de profondeur environ. 2, record 1, French, - s%C3%A9diments%20abyssaux
