Answer:
Subsidence is so slow that there seems to have been no depression of the upper surface of the lithosphere, so depositional environments are mostly the
same as those in surrounding areas; the succession is just thicker. These
successions are also more complete, however—there are fewer and smaller
diastems—so at times the basin must have remained under water while surrounding areas were emergent. (A diastem is a brief interruption in
sedimentation, with little or no erosion before sedimentation resumes.)
Size, shape: rounded, equidimensional, hundreds of kilometers across
Sediment fill: shallow-water cratonal sediments (carbonates, shales, sandstones),
thicker and more complete than in adjacent areas of the craton but still
relatively thin, hundreds of meters.
Hopefully that helps!
The second one is correct
When a flood occurs, the stream is getting much more water, and on the parts where the angle of fall is greater and the stream is faster, because of the greater amount of water, and thus force, it managed to take with it much bigger amount of sediments, and also much bigger pieces of it.
The transportation depends on the speed and force of the water, and when there is a flood. both of those are bigger, so the stream is able to carry more sediments over a longer distance, but also over a wider area as the waters are getting out of the normal river flow and flood the valley.
D. Because it sounds like the answer that is most right
I think in deep rock and under trenches the rock isn't brittle enough to transmit some seismic waves because it is more ductile or liquid under pressures of depth and temperature
