How do oozes differ from abyssal clay?

Oozes contain at least 30% biogenous particles (by weight); in contrast to abyssal clay which contains less than 30% biogenous material.

The bulk of the remaining percentage (up to 70%) of abyssal clay deposits  comprised of lithogenous clays

How productivity, destruction, and dilution combine to determine whether an ooze or abyssal clay will form on the deep-ocean floor

Whether or not an ooze forms depends on the relative rates of biogenous and lithogenous particle deposition in an area.

The deposition rate of biogenous particles is a function of the rate at which they are produced (productivity) versus the dissolution rate (destruction) in ocean water. The seawater dissolution rate for silica is slow and steady at all ocean depths, but increases significantly with increasing water depth for calcium carbonate.

Finally, if the deposition rate for lithogenous particles is greater than the deposition rate for biogenous particles, the lithogenous particles will dilute the concentration of biogenous particles and biogenous ooze will never form as a result of this dilution

Describe the movement in the amoeba
Oliga [24]
Amoebae move by growing an extension of their bodies in the direction of movement and then flowing into it. This extension is called a pseudopod because when it's fully extended it resembles a limb, despite being only an extension of the amoeba's plasma membrane.

The first evolved during the orbovician period
dezoksy [38]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Amid the Ordovician Period, the outside of the earth was drastically unique in relation to it is today. About all life on earth was in the seas. The main land life was as exceptionally crude plants extremely close to the water line of the coasts, presumably greeneries and green growth and were of a non-vascular nature.  

The Ordovician Period started with a noteworthy eradication called the Cambrian– Ordovician annihilation occasion, about 485.4 Mya (million years prior). It went on for around 42 million years and finished with the Ordovician– Silurian elimination occasions, about 443.8 Mya (ICS, 2004) which cleared out 60% of marine genera.  

The timeframe that occurred 488 to 443 million years back. Amid the Ordovician time frame, some portion of the Paleozoic time, a rich assortment of marine life thrived in the tremendous oceans and the primary crude plants started to show up ashore—before the second biggest mass annihilation ever finished the period.

If the Greenland ice sheet melted, approximately how much would the sea level rise worldwide? (1 meter = 3.28 feet)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Due to the general core field and psychic naturalism measurements of the ice sheet, the top water sheet level would rise approximately 353 meters.

It's quite sad, as the poles require an uneven lining, where if we lose that uneven lining, all warm blooded species are surely doomed.
