how does a hydrogenous sediment form in the deep ocean?
hot water from vents concentrate nutrients in the deep ocean.
phosphates and carbonates occur at volcanic mid - ocean ridges.
dissolved minerals in seawater precipitate out of solution when temperature and pressure conditions change.
shipwrecks dissolve and contribute to the mineral content in the ocean.

Explanation:

Hydrogenous sediments form from dissolved minerals in seawater that precipitate out as temperature and pressure conditions change in the deep - ocean environment. The other options do not describe the formation process of hydrogenous sediments. Hot water from vents concentrating nutrients is not related to hydrogenous sediment formation. Phosphates and carbonates at mid - ocean ridges do not define hydrogenous sediment formation. Shipwrecks dissolving is not the process for hydrogenous sediment formation.

Answer:

Dissolved minerals in seawater precipitate out of solution when temperature and pressure conditions change.
