Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beds in quiet-water shelf deposits that have been produced by storms, such as the Sandy storm, are called tempestites. Turbidites, on the other hand, are deposits that form from underwater landslides or submarine sediment gravity flows, and are not associated with storms. Tidal deltas are deposits that form at the mouths of rivers where they empty into the ocean, and talus refers to the accumulation of rock debris at the base of a slope or cliff.
