Stratification helps the civil engineer to:
a- properly understand the nature of the ground and know what is underlying this ground, whether solid rocks or soil
b- develop an understanding of the permeability of the composite soil
c- develop an understanding of the mechanical properties of the ground such as its strength
d- ensure that the site is properly structured and suitable for the targeted project<span />
This process began in BRITAIN in the late 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world.
Answer:
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place. The particles that form a sedimentary rock are called sediment, and may be composed of geological detritus (minerals) or biological detritus (organic matter). The geological detritus originated from weathering and erosion of existing rocks, or from the solidification of molten lava blobs erupted by volcanoes. The geological detritus is transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice or mass movement, which are called agents of denudation. Biological detritus was formed by bodies and parts (mainly shells) of dead aquatic organisms, as well as their fecal mass, suspended in water and slowly piling up on the floor of water bodies (marine snow). Sedimentation may also occur as dissolved minerals precipitate from water solution.

Advantage: #1 Almost 0 emissions (very low greenhouse gas emissions).
#2 They can be sited almost anywhere unlike oil which is mostly imported
Disadvantage #1 Nuclear plants are more expensive to build and maintain.
#2 Proliferation concerns - breeder reactors yield products that could potentially be stolen and turned into an atomic weapon
