The amount of sediments in the pacific ocean is about 600 meters or less and about 500 to 1000 meters thick in the atlantic ocean. if the same amount of sediment is entering into both oceans at the same rate, why would the amount of sediment in the pacific ocean be thinner than that in the atlantic ocean?

Why would the crystals in an intrusive igneous rock be larger than the crystals in a chemical sedimentary rock? a. intrusive rocks form beneath the earth's surface, so they cool very slowly, which produces larger crystals. b. chemical sedimentary rocks form from dissolved substances on the earth's surface with very high heat and cool very slowly, which produces smaller crystals. c. chemical sedimentary rocks and intrusive rocks have crystals of the same size. o d. chemical sedimentary rocks form deep in the earth, so they cool slower, which produces small crystals. € read question correct:
