Large ocean basins are the only places where pelagic sediments are found. The main types of deposits are globigerina ooze and red clay.
<h3>What common dominant sediment type in Pacific Ocean? </h3>
Diatom oozes are only found in a ring that spans the North Pacific Ocean and an almost continuous belt that surrounds Antarctica.
Nutritional requirements of diatoms and are more common in the warmer seas towards the equator.
As a result, siliceous radiolarian ooze predominates in the equatorial coastal Pacific, while siliceous diatom ooze predominates in the polar regions.
Therefore, The dominant sediment type found along the equatorial Pacific Ocean is biogenous

Answer: in the other types of boundaries lithosphere plate is either created ie: (divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust is formed) while at convergent old oceanic crust is destroyed . But in the case of transform boundaries the plates slides past each other and lithosphere plate is neither created or destroyed . California San Andreas fault is a transform boundary.
Explanation:
Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay
