Pelagic sediment or pelagite is a fine-grained sediment that accumulates as the result of the settling of particles to the floor of the open ocean, far...

The pelagic zone consists of the water column of the open ocean and can be further divided into regions by depth. The word pelagic is derived from Ancient...

Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of...

Pelagic red clay, also known as simply red clay, brown clay or pelagic clay, is a type of pelagic sediment. Pelagic clay accumulates in the deepest and...

Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (sediment), typically due to a combination of gravity acting on the sediment, and the movement of...

Hemipelagic sediments are deposited on continental shelves and continental rises, and differ from pelagic sediment compositionally. Pelagic sediment is composed...

Pelagic fish live in the pelagic zone of ocean or lake waters—being neither close to the bottom nor near the shore—in contrast with demersal fish that...
