Question

question 9 1 pts in which of the following environments might you expect a thickly - bedded well - sorted quartz sandstone to form? select all that apply. beach/shore desert river deep ocean

Explanation:

Well - sorted quartz sandstone forms in environments with strong and consistent sorting agents. Beaches/shorelines have wave action that can sort sand grains, and deserts have wind that can sort sand, leading to well - sorted deposits. Rivers typically have varying flow velocities which may not always result in well - sorted thick beds. Deep ocean environments have different sedimentation processes and are less likely to form thickly - bedded well - sorted quartz sandstone from typical sand - forming processes.

Answer:

Beach/Shore, Desert
