EXERCISE 2. OCEAN FLOOR FEATURES AND SEDIMENT TYPES 1. On the following three profiles (Figure 4-6), identify the most probable type of sediment(s) expected in each of the lettered areas. On each profile, a continent is shown on the left and a broad ocean is to the right. ARUDER D. G. H. I. J. K. L. 2=15 M. N. O. P. 2. The sediment accumulating in the deep ocean basin is primarily derived from shells of pelagic (floating) organisms. Explain why the sediment would be much thicker on the flanks of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge than on the ridge crest.
