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.

Sever21 [200]
The scientists' conclusions are most likely unreliable because <u>he asked the wrong set of people for his survey.</u> By definition, environmentalists are those people who are inclined to believing that humans are entirely responsible for creating biological foot prints all over the Earth. They always advocate the protection of the environment and even persuade people to follow suit.
