Question

What process is responsible in carrying sediments into the ocean basins? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Transport of Sediment

Terrigenous sediment can be transported to the deep sea via rivers or by wind. Material transported by rivers most commonly ends up deposited on the continental margin, the shallow portions of the ocean that are within several hundred kilometers of land.

Answer 2

"Transport of sediment" process is responsible in carrying into the ocean basins.

Explanation:

• Water(fluvial processes) is the most common mode of sediment movement, but wind(aeolian processes) and glaciers also play a role. fluvial transport and deposition can be seen in beach sands and river channel deposits.
• But sediment also settles out of slow-moving or still water in lakes and oceans. Terrigenous sediment can be transported to the deep sea via rivers or by wind.
• Material transported by rivers most commonly ends up deposited on the continental margin, the shallow portions of the ocean that are within several hundred kilometers of land.
