A comet is a smaller celestial body orbiting the sun, often with a tail made of debris. Debris from a comet can turn into a meteor, which means that is has entered into Earth's atmosphere and burns due to the friction with the Earth's atmosphere. If a meteor is large enough, it can survive this fall into Earth's atmosphere and strike the Earth, on land this would leave an impact crater, or a collision site where the meteor met the surface. This can also happen in water, but may be difficult to see and may not leave an impact crater. Simply, Comet to Meteor to Impact crater.

Why would you expect that seafloor samples taken farther from land usually contain a greater proportion of biogenous sediments t
Natali [406]

It is expected that seafloor samples taken farther from land usually contain a greater proportion of biogenous sediments because sediments are thinnest on the seabed closest to spreading centres (young seafloor) and thicker distant from the ridge (older seafloor with more time for accumulation). Additionally, sediments are substantially thicker close to continents.

More about seafloor sediments:

Terrigenous, pelagic, and hydrogenous sediment are the three different types of sea floor sediment. Terrigenous sediment is deposited on the continental shelf, continental rise, and abyssal plain and is derived from the land.

Clay particles and tiny marine animal skeletons that progressively sink to the ocean floor make up pelagic sediment. Minerals that precipitate from seawater on the ocean floor, such as manganese nodules, are abundant in hydrogenous sediments.
