Which one of the following is the correct sequence of the terrigenous deposits from the coast to the deeper part of the sea?

Use the codes given below to select the correct answer:

4, 2, 1, 3

3, 2, 4, 1

1, 4, 3, 2

3, 4, 1, 2

- Terrigenous deposits like sand, silt, mud, and clay are transported from land to sea.

- The deposition sequence depends on particle size and water energy:

- Sand: Coarse and heavy, settles near the shore.

- Silt: Finer than sand, settles further out.

- Mud: Mixture of silt and clay, found even farther from shore.

- Clay: Finest particles, carried to the deepest parts.

- Option 1: Incorrect. Makes no logistical sense based on particle size and deposition.

- Option 2: Incorrect. Misplaces mud relative to sand and silt.

- Option 3: Incorrect. Doesn't reflect natural sediment deposition.

- Option 4: Correct order - Sand (3), Silt (4), Mud (2), Clay (1).
