The 'Principle of Constant Proportions' states that the major dissolved constituents occur everywhere in the ocean with the same proportions, regardless of salinity.

Tablemounts are eroded volcanoes on the ocean floor

The Calcite Compensation Depth is the depth below which calcite is no longer a significant component in ocean sediments because at those pressures and temperatures, calcite is no longer stable.
