This type of ooze accumulates on the ocean floor at depths above the carbonate compensation depth.

This type of ooze accumulates on the ocean floor at depths below the carbonate compensation depth.
3.
This can only occur if the ocean is shallower than the carbonate compensation depth ( CCD ).
4.
The blue portion of the visible spectrum, between 455-495 nanometers, dominates light at the compensation depth.
5.
John Murray investigated and experimented on the dissolution of calcium carbonate and was first to identify the carbonate compensation depth in oceans.
6.
It must occur in areas of high biogenic productivity, during periods of relatively quiet flow and, if calcareous, must also occur at depths above the carbonate compensation depth.
7.
An important element for the skeletons of marine animals is calcium, but calcium carbonate becomes more soluble with pressure, so carbonate shells and skeletons dissolve below the carbonate compensation depth.
8.
The depth where the net growth rate is zero is referred to as the "'compensation depth "'( only 0.1-1 % of solar radiation penetrates ).
9.
For calcite, this means that the area of deposition must be above the carbonate compensation depth, or that the pore waters are sufficiently saturated due to dissolution of other grains that precipitation can begin.
10.
The lysocline and compensation depth occur at greater depths in the Atlantic ( 5000-6000 m ) than in the Pacific ( 4000-5000 m ), and at greater depths in equatorial regions than in polar regions.
