| 4 hours ago | comment | added | AlexP | The question is about "convection currents", whatever they may be, carrying sediment 40 miles up from the bottom of the ocean to the surface. Here on Earth oceanic ecosystems sometimes rely on upwelling to get nutrients from the deep-ish ocean to the surface, but I've never heard of anything travelling up to the surface from the really deep ocean floor, with the effect being seemingly limited to a maximum of less than 1 (one) mile of vertical distance and most often no deeper than 400 meters (1/4 of a mile). | |
