CONT

[...] 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. Les dépôts abysso-pélagiques constituent les dépôts océaniques les plus étendus et les plus typiques. Ce sont surtout des boues [...] constituées par des éléments minéraux et des squelettes de micro-organismes, où la phase «active» (colloïdes organiques ou minéraux instables) est très faiblement représentée, contrairement aux vases littorales.
