Sediment is being deposited in a few places, but most places are eroding.

<h3><u>What is sediment?</u></h3>
  • Sediment is a naturally occurring substance that is broken down by weathering processes and then moved by the force of gravity acting on the particles or by the action of wind, water, or ice.
  • For instance, sand and silt can be carried in river water in suspension and, once they reach the sea floor, are deposited through sedimentation.
  • If they are buried, however, they may eventually undergo lithification and turn into sandstone and siltstone.
  • Sediment is moved based on its own size, volume, density, and shape as well as the force of the flow that transports it.

Larger or denser particles will have a higher likelihood of falling through the flow, while stronger flows will increase the lift and drag on the particle, forcing it to ascend.

Where would a explosive volcano most likely occur
leonid [27]

Answer:

On subduction zones

Explanation:

Explosives volcanoes are most likely to be found on subduction plate boundaries where one plate subducts (goes under) another plate. The subducting plate is usually a plate  made of denser oceanic crust and the upper plate usually consists of less dense continental crust. Because of the composition of the magma and the high silica content found in the continental crust, these eruptions are much more explosive than the gentler basaltic flows characteristics of oceanic hotspot eruptions or undersea divergent plate boundaries.
