Answer:

River flood plains, swamps, lakes, lagoons, marshes, and offshore.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slow-moving currents prevent coarse-grained sediment from migrating into low-energy depositional environments. Fine materials can be carried long distances before they can settle out in the absence of waves and currents.
