Which would most likely leave behind well sorted sediments?
A) flash flood
B) melting glacier
C) ocean waves
D) volcanic eruption
Answer:
C. ocean waves
Explanation:
The wave waves are generated by the wind. As it begins to blow over the ocean's surface, it will increase its roughness, forming waves of very small amplitude (around the centimeter) called capillary waves. The longer the period during which the wind blows and the more intense it is, the greater the height of the waves that form.
This movement of seawater ends up moving small sediments that may be trapped at the bottom of the ocean or could be floating in the water. When the wave hits the surface it carries these sediments and then places them in several different places.
