Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

 Well-sorted sediments are dominated by one particle size. Poorly sorted sediments are a mixture of sizes.
 Well-sorted sediments are commonly found in the deep ocean. This is due to narrow changes in energy at these depths.
 Well-sorted sediments in the deep ocean are transported by ocean currents.
 Poorly sorted sediments tend to be close to shore. They occur in areas with high erosion rates because of the high energy fluctuations. The erosion and wave action creates many different particle sizes.
 Poorly sorted sediments are transported by turbidity currents.
