Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sand deposition primarily occurs in areas where water or wind movement is capable of transporting and then depositing sand particles. This includes environments like beaches, deserts, river channels, and deltas. The open ocean, however, is less likely to have conditions suitable for sand deposition, especially away from land, because the fine particles are typically carried away to deeper areas or are too far from the sources of sand like rivers and coastal erosion.
