Marine particles play an important rôle in the chemistry of the oceans, not only because they provide sources of, and sinks for, solutes, but also, and especially, because they move relative to water. Examples of the resulting fluxes can be seen in the vertical transport of organic carbon and nitrogen, calcium carbonate, or trace metals. The components of most oceanic particles were originally formed as a result of light-driven biological processes in the euphotic zone. The vertical flux of particles decreases with depth and is controlled by a range of biological, physical, and chemical processes.
