text: The thickness of pelagic sediments that has accumulated at a given location on the seafloor depends upon several factors, chiefly the rate of mass flux to the seafloor, whether the site is above or below the carbonate compensation depth (CCD; normally this occurs at a water depth of ~4000 m) and the age of the ocean crust (sediments are thinnest on young crust adjacent to mid-ocean spreading ridges, since there has been less time for sediment to accumulate).
