Answer 1

A. Deposition

Explanation:

The dead fish and animals fall to the bottom and decompose if not eaten by a predator beforehand.

Answer 2

Lake deposition would be MOST LIKELY to occur at the bottom of a lake.

Step-by-step explanation:

The significantly lower energy of flowing water in lakes causes its inability to carry the sediment that it is transporting. That is why lakes are areas of sediment deposition. Lake deposits are also called lacustrine.

Lacustrine deposits are sedimentary rock formations which formed in the bottom of ancient lakes. Lacustrine deposits are carried sediment that settled into the basin of a lake, river or stream channel.
