Depth sounding refers to the act of measuring depth. It is often referred to simply as sounding. Data taken from soundings are used in bathymetry to make maps of the floor of a body of water, and were traditionally shown on nautical charts in fathoms and feet.  4, record 1, English, - depth%20sounding

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 3, English, - deep%2Dsea%20deposit
