This was a major breakthrough in geology because it meant that sedimentary strata in diverse parts of a country or area could be correlated as belonging to the same formation which means they were formed at the same time historically so helped to put them in the correct sequence. If these strata contained valuable minerals like coal then it could aid in the search for coal. This helped William 'Strata' Smith in England to create his first geological map in the world of a whole country.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. favorable change in DNA of the insect.

These surviving individuals pass along the gene resistance to particular insecticide or pesticide to next generation.

Upon introduction to pesticides, insects that don't have the resistance die eventually, in this manner permitting the insects with the resistance genes to endure and reproduce,creates more resistance insects.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. favorable change in DNA of the insect.
