Autonomous underwater explorers (aues) will collect information on
a. large-scale ocean processes
b. small-scale ocean processes
c. global tides and currents
d. none of the above

The correct answer is (b.) small-scale ocean processes. Autonomous underwater explorer (AUEs) will collect information on small-scale ocean processes. The small scale ocean mixing process plays an important role in the process of large-scale ocean.

b. small-scale ocean processes

Autonomous underwater explorers will collect information about ocean. These are oceanographers who study local and small scale processes. They study the oceanic phenomena in detail. They gather information on small scale circulation, such as coastal river circulation, dynamics of planktonic communities, sewage outlets that effect the water of the ocean, and oil spill expansion in oceanic water.

a. sediment

In weathering the matter is broken down into small parts these parts gets settled at place other than the one where the matter actually originated the settled part is sediment and process is called as sedimentation. In erosion the layers of the matter get removed from it's original location and get deposited some where else as sediment.
