How deep is the uncompacted sediment on floor of Pacific Ocean?
There is no uncompacted sediment on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. The sediments on the floor of the Pacific Ocean are highly compacted due to the immense pressure exerted by the water column above them. The thickness of the sediment layer varies from a few meters to several kilometers, depending on the location. The deepest sediment deposits are found in the abyssal plains, where they can reach thicknesses of up to 10 kilometers.
