Deep-sea Sedimentation

Deep-Sea Sedimentation is the process of deposition and accumulation of particulate matter on the ocean floor at depths typically exceeding 2,000 meters, distinguished from other sedimentary processes by its isolation from terrestrial sediment sources, slow rates of deposition, and dominance of biogenic, pelagic, and authigenic components in the absence of significant bottom-current reworking.
