ANSWER: manganese nodules [or polymetallic nodules; accept ferromanganese nodules]
[10m] In addition to hydrogenous growth, manganese nodules may grow through a process of this name. In general, this process results in the conversion of sediment into sedimentary rock.
ANSWER: diagenesis
[10h] The majority of the world’s manganese nodules are found in this northeast Pacific region, the subject of the ABYSSLINE project led by Diva Amon. A 2023 study estimated that 92 percent of the species in this region are new to science.
