- Carbonate compensation depthCarbonate Compensation DepthCalcite compensation depth is the depth in the oceans below which the rate of supply of calcite lags behind the rate of solvation, such that no calcite is preserved. Aragonite compensation depth describes the same behaviour in reference to aragonitic carbonates.Calcium carbonate is essentially...
