The most characteristic feature of clastic sedimentary rocks is "stratification".
<u>Answer:</u> Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
"Stratification" is an essential characteristic of the sedimentary rocks take place in an igneous rock produced at the surface of the Earth naturally due to volcanic fragmental deposits and flows of lava. It defines the pattern in which sediment layers are layered over each other and may occur on a scale of hundreds of meters, even down to sub-millimeter.
It also results from variations in texture or composition during deposition. Delays in deposition may also permit for variations to the older deposits before coverage given by new sediments. This mechanism in sedimentary rocks change in both, the degree of prominence and in structure details.
Answer: C. Miller and Urey showed that inorganic compounds could combine to form the building blocks of living cells.
Explanation:
The Miller and Urey were the two scientists who created the atmospheric conditions that were expected to be present on primitive earth. They demonstrated that several organic compounds have been formed spontaneously from the inorganic compounds like water, ammonia, methane and others.
The exposure of mixture of inorganic compounds by the lightening lead to the formation of organic molecules like amino acids which are the building blocks of life. This was similar to the penetration of earth atmosphere by UV radiation producing the organic compounds from inorganic molecules.
