In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. The surface called "sea floor" means the lower boundary of the ocean. "Sea floor sediment" is sediment deposited at the sea bed.

In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. Burial means that the material is buried in the sediment and will not be reinjected in the ocean. The surface called "sea floor" means the lower boundary of the ocean. "Sea floor sediment" is sediment deposited at the sea bed.
