Question
All of the terms listed below are sediment transporting agents EXCEPT:A.Glacial iceB.StratificationC.WindstormD.Stream water
Solution
The correct answer is B. Stratification. Stratification refers to the layering that occurs in most sedimentary rocks and in those igneous rocks formed at the Earth's surface, as from volcanic lava flows and ash. So, it is not a sediment transporting agent. The other options - Glacial ice (A), Windstorm (C), and Stream water (D) - are all agents that can transport sediment.
