1. which type of sediment tends to be prevalent in each of the following three marine locations? choose one matching answer for each of the four parts.

continental slope

[ choose ] biogenous oozes glacial-marine sediments pelagic clay clastic terrigenous sediments - sand, silt, and clay

deep ocean floor, ~3-5 km deep

[ choose ] biogenous oozes glacial-marine sediments pelagic clay clastic terrigenous sediments - sand, silt, and clay

polar regions (e. g., antarctica)

[ choose ] biogenous oozes glacial-marine sediments pelagic clay clastic terrigenous sediments - sand, silt, and clay

deep abyssal plain, > 5 km (below the carbonate compensation depth)

[ choose ] biogenous oozes glacial-marine sediments pelagic clay clastic terrigenous sediments - sand, silt, and clay

2. what are the three principal agents that transport terrigenous sediments to the ocean? how do these different transport mechanisms influence the character and composition of the sediments formed and determine their sites of deposition?

3. what processes are involved in the movement of terrigenous material from the continental shelf to the continental slope and the continental rise and what features of these sediment deposits facilitate recognition of their transport mechanism?
