1. What are the major origins of carbonate slope sediments?
2. What criteria is used to classify carbonate slopes, and what are some examples of different types of slopes?
3. Identify two ways sediment is transported to the slope and identify any sedimentary structures associated with those transport mechanisms.
4. What is the affect of climate and ocean chemistry on carbonate slopes (include the affect of ocean chemistry on biota)?
5. Briefly compare
the transgressive sequence track and the regressive sequence track.
