High energy environments are most likely to contain which one of the following?
A) clay-sized particles
B) cosmogenous sediments
C) large particles such as gravel
D) manganese nodules
E) silt-sized particles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High energy environments are characterized by strong currents and waves that can transport and deposit large particles such as gravel. Clay and silt-sized particles are more likely to settle out in low energy environments, while cosmogenous sediments and manganese nodules have specific formation processes and are not directly tied to energy levels.
