Terrigenous sediment

Sediments derived from the erosion of rocks on land

In oceanography, terrigenous sediments are those derived from the erosion of rocks on land; that is, they are derived from terrestrial environments. Consisting of sand, mud, and silt carried to sea by rivers, their composition is usually related to their source rocks; deposition of these sediments is largely limited to the continental shelf.
