The sparse sediments may permit researchers to find seafloor substances 
that are typically hidden, says David Scholl, a marine geologist at 
Stanford University. For instance, meteor dust, which falls evenly over 
Earth's surface, may be more easily detectable in the bare zone than 
elsewhere, says Scholl.
