Answer:

The correct answer is option B) stratification.

Explanation:

The stratification process is the layering that involves the majority of sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks that are on the surface. These are generated from lava flows and volcanic fragmentary deposits. Stratified rocks are made of visible layers of sediments.

When it occurs in sedimentary rocks, this is due to the change in the texture or composition of the rocks, or it may be because during the deposition process a change or pause occurred before the new sediments cover the rock.

A strata sequence may take place as alternations of coarse and very fine particles, and changes in color can be observed, as a result of differences in mineral composition, or just as layers of similar aspect.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer: The width of the original car = 96 inches.

Explanation:

Given: The similarity ratio of a replica car = 1:30

The width of the replica car = 3.2 inches.

By using the similarity ratio,

The width of the original car = 30 x (width of the replica car )

i.e. The width of the original car = 30 x 3.2 inches

i.e. The width of the original car = 96 inches

Hence, the width of the original car = 96 inches.
