Correct Answer: continental shelf and slope


Solution : The correct answer is continental shelf and slope.

Terrigenous deposits are mud, sand, gravel and volcanic materials deposits. These are found close to land on the continental shelf and continental slope. Terrestrial sediments eroded by water, wind, or ice are the primary sources of Terrigenous deposits. Terrigenous sediments account for a major portion of the salt in today's oceans.
