Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Manganese nodules are mostly found on the abyssal plain, far from the continental shelf or slope. These nodules are formed by the precipitation of various metals from seawater over millions of years. The slow accumulation of these metals results in the formation of nodules on the abyssal plain. Nodules have been found at various locations within the deep ocean abyssal plains in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
