Question

in which location are most neritic sediments found?
○ continental slope
○ continental shelf
○ abyssal plain

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Neritic sediments are associated with the shallow - water marine environment. The continental shelf is the shallow, submerged border of a continent, and it is in this area that most neritic sediments accumulate. The continental slope is steeper and not the primary location for neritic sediments, and the abyssal plain is in the deep ocean, far from the neritic (shallow - water) zone.

Answer:

B. continental shelf (assuming the options are labeled as A. continental slope, B. continental shelf, C. abyssal plain)
