- W4387358578 abstract "Uncovering the spatial distribution of deep-sea sediment lithologies is crucial for the research on earth system science and the exploration of critical mineral resources. The conventional global deep-sea sediment lithology distribution maps showed that the lithologies were relatively uniform in the global major ocean basins. Furthermore, it was deemed that the deep-sea sediment lithologies were related to the productivity of surface seawater. However, later studies have illustrated that the distribution of deep-sea sediment lithologies exhibited greater variability and heterogeneity than conventional maps and that water depth played a more important role in controlling deep-sea sediment lithologies than productivity. In addition, few studies have focused on the relationship between the heterogeneous deep-sea sediment lithologies and the diverse seafloor topography in the West Pacific. In this study, we provide a high-resolution spatial distribution map of deep-sea sediment lithologies by systematic descriptions of 112 surface samples in the northern West Caroline Basin, tropical West Pacific, with a large range of water depth and a diverse seafloor topography to verify the previous prediction of sediment lithology distribution. Subsequently, based on the results of the determinations of carbonate and biogenic silica contents, the sediment redox-potential tests, and the calculations of multiple variables, we carried out quantitative studies and correlation analyses for these variables to reveal the relative contribution of different factors to the lithological heterogeneity in the northern West Caroline Basin. Our results show that the actual deep-sea sediments have greater heterogeneity in terms of lithological classes and distribution patterns than the earlier predicted lithology maps. Furthermore, our analyses reveal that water depth and seafloor topography are the more important controlling factors on the deep-sea sediment lithology to some extent than productivity and that water depth and topography may exert different effects on the different sediment components. For the calcareous component, water depth is the main controlling factor due to the increased solubility of carbonate with water depth. Carbonate materials can dilute other components in the waters above the carbonate compensation depth, which is around 4500 m below the sea surface in the study area. Meanwhile, the siliceous component may be enriched in the unique negative seafloor topography of the trench and trough with the specific lateral transport mechanism and the redox environment. These findings imply a more complicated actual deep-sea sediment lithology distribution than previously thought given that various water depths and diverse topography in the global oceans, which are significant for understanding deep-sea sedimentary processes and improving the models for predicting global sediment lithology in the deep sea." @default.
