Oceanography Atlantic sea floor, whereas extensive regions of the Pacific are covered with sedi- ments ranging in density from to g/cm^ (Figs. 7 and 8). Areas of rela- tively low density material — less than g/cm^ — have been found in the Pacific, but as yet have not been observed in the North Atlantic. These low den- sities are common to areas of "red clay". The low values occurring in the vicinity of S^S and 170°W possibly may be attributed to the particular depositional envi- ronment caused by the numerous islands found in that area. The other areas of low density material are associated with the relatively flat abyssal floor which rules out the possibility of bottom topography influencing the depositional en- vironment. No explanation is readily available for the occurrence of these low density sediments. The area! extent of these lower density sediments will undoub- tedly increase as additional data become available. The distribution of to g/cm^ values around the margin of the Pacific Fig. 7. 43.
