Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Placer mineral deposits are typically found in stream beds, river banks, or the ocean floor. They are formed from the accumulation of heavy minerals such as gold or diamonds, which are carried downstream by the flow of water or in the case of the ocean floor, by wave action. Placer mineral deposits are not typically found on mountain tops as the processes that lead to their formation require the transport of heavy minerals by water or waves. Similarly, they are not typically found behind undulations on the ocean floor as heavy minerals are typically distributed uniformly across the sea bed.
