Assessment of Density Variations of Marine Sediments with Ocean and Sediment Depths

Figure 6

Errors of the upper sediment density equation in (1). Scatter plot and histogram of the differences between the measured and theoretical density values within the upper sedimentary layer (  m). The density differences are plotted with respect to the oceanic depth. Statistics of the differences: standard deviation = 0.16 g/cm3, max = 0.50 g/cm3, and min = −0.46 g/cm3. The histogram shows a relative distribution of the density differences.
