Question

which of the following environments would most likely form limestone deposits? deep ocean volcanic region sandy beach shallow sea

Explanation:

Limestone is a sedimentary rock. It is mainly formed from the accumulation of the shells and skeletons of marine organisms (such as coral, mollusks, etc.). Shallow - sea environments are rich in such organisms. In deep - ocean environments, the pressure and lack of sunlight limit the growth of many limestone - forming organisms. Volcanic regions are associated with igneous rock formation (from magma/lava), not limestone (sedimentary). Sandy beaches are dominated by sand (quartz - rich in many cases) rather than the materials needed for limestone formation.

Answer:

shallow sea
