Mud is the most abundant sediment type on the deep ocean floor for most locations in the world. It consists of fine particles of clay minerals, silt, and organic matter that settle slowly to the seafloor. Carbonate and siliceous oozes (diatom and radiolarian ooze) are less common and occur in specific regions of the ocean. Sand is also less common in the deep ocean as it is too heavy to be transported far from shore by currents.
