Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Pelagic sediments are considered to be those present on the continental slope, rise, and deep ocean
floors. These sediments tend to be finer than those found on the continental shelf and include more
biogenous sediments. Information can be found in the section Sediments May be Classified by Source.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Although biogenous sediments cover a larger area, terrigenous sediments have a greater volume.
Terrigenous sediments are considered to be the most abundant. Information can be found in the section
Sediments May be Classified by Source.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
