The correct answer is D. The land warms faster that the ocean.

Explanation

According to the statement the heat capacity of the sea is greater than that of the land, this means the sea needs more heat to increase its temperature in comparison to the land and therefore when the sun shines on a coastal town the land warms or increases its temperature faster than the sea, because the sea has a greater heat capacity. This can be explained as the masses of water are bigger than the terrestrial surface and are influenced by the currents which diffuses heat. So, the correct answer is D. The land warms fsater than the ocean.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Correlation

Explanation:

Correlation simply means matching rocks or strata's of the same age. This rock units or sedimentary strata's may be matched from same region or even different continents.

In correlation the major task is to establish time equivalency of various rocks or sedimentary strata's.

In correlation of rock unit or sedimentary strata, Geologist looks at the physical continuity. For example a sedimentary strata from a region having a particular sequence of rock or sedimentary strata . That same pattern of sequence may be found in another region . With the similarity in the sequence stratigraphy ( sediment layering), Geologist can infer the similarity in age of both strata's.

Fossil contents present in different strata; if similar fossil contents found in different regions, geologist can determine the age similarities.

The first picture indicates strata correlation using fossil similarities while the second picture uses the physical continuity like lithology to correlates strata's
