Question

Which sediment would have the slowest rate of deposition?
a round sediment
O a very large sediment
an irregularly shaped sediment
O a high-density sediment

Answer 1

Answer:

C. An irregularly shaped sediment

Explanation:

Deposition is the settling of sediments within respective basins of deposition.

Irregularly shaped sediments are the slowest to settle within a basin this is due to the frictional resistance of their surface.

As these particles hits the water, the liquid drag on their edges is very great and prevents swift settling.

A. A high density sediment and a large sediment will have a fast settling time.

B. Rounded sediments will impose no friction on the water and they fall through the liquid very fast.

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is C. an irregulary shaped sediment
