Answer 1

Sedimentary rocks can be found in continental and marine environments, including rivers, wetlands/swamps, and shallow or deep marine settings.

The answer is option ⇒1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are most likely to be found in continental and marine environments. Within continental environments, sediments can be found in rivers and wetlands/swamps.

Within marine environments, sediments can be found in shallow or deep marine settings. The color of sedimentary rocks can also provide clues about the environment in which they were deposited, with reddish colors indicating oxygen-rich environments like a flowing river or desert, green and light gray colors indicating low oxygen, and black color indicating a deep marine or swamp environment.

The answer is option ⇒1
