Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Manganese nodules are hydrogenous sediments that form on the seafloor as a result of precipitation from seawater. They are composed of manganese minerals, iron, and other trace elements, and can be found on the deep-sea floor in regions such as the abyssal plains. The other options listed are all biogenic sediments (produced by living organisms), rather than hydrogenous sediments.
