Turbidite sandstones with graded bedding would be common on continental shelves associated with trailing, passive, continental margins.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Turbidite sandstones with graded bedding are more commonly found in deep-sea environments, such as continental slopes and abyssal plains, rather than on continental shelves. They are associated with turbidity currents that deposit sediments in deep water, not typically with trailing, passive continental margins which are characterized by less steep slopes and shallower waters.
