how does the carbonate compensation depth (ccd) affect accumulation of calcareous ooze on the ocean floor?

□ low rates of biological productivity result in a large supply of calcareous material.
□ the ccd has nothing to do with ooze deposition.
□ ooze accumulates at depths above the ccd.
□ the ccd has an average depth of about 4500 m (14,800 ft).

Explanation:

Answer:

Ooze accumulates at depths above the CCD.
The CCD has an average depth of about 4500 m (14,800 ft).

(Note: The first option is incorrect because low biological productivity would result in a small supply of calcareous material, and the second option is incorrect as the CCD is related to ooze deposition.)
