| Definition / notes: | "Pelagic sediments, also known as marine sediments, are those that accumulate in the abyssal plain of the deep ocean, far away from terrestrial sources that provide terrigenous sediments; the latter are primarily limited to the continental shelf, and at some point were probably deposited by rivers.[1] Pelagic sediments that are mixed with terrigenous sediments are known as hemipelagic." |
