Solution
The correct option is B (b) Only 2
Sedimentary basins are regions where considerable thicknesses of sediments have accumulated (in places up to 20 km). Sedimentary basins are widespread both onshore and offshore.
Importance:
- They are the location for almost all of the world's hydrocarbon reserves
- Other mineral: Include coal and uranium, large deposits of phosphate (an essential fertilizer mineral) and a host of industrial raw materials, including limestone for cement manufacture, kaolinitic clays, gypsum and salts.
- Metalliferous deposits (in fewer amounts) include ores of lead, zinc, iron and manganese, and there may also be some bauxite.
