A property of fine-grained clastic rocks is that they are easily eroded.
<h3>Why are these rocks easily eroded?</h3>
Fine-grained clastic rocks have small fragments and grains which make them lighter than other rocks.
As a result they are more susceptible to weathering which then allows them to be easily carried off by water or air.
In conclusion, option A is correct.

The convection currents are the ones that create the force that breaks up and moves the crustal plates on the surface of the planet. By moving the crustal plates, the convection currents contribute to the formation of different types of plate boundaries, including the divergent plate boundaries.
The divergent plate boundaries are the boundaries where two plates are moving away from one another because the convection currents are dictating that kind of movement from bellow them. As they move away from each other, they leave a gap between them, and the convection currents push up a lot of magma towards the surface. The magma cools of very quickly in the water, thus forming rocks constantly, rocks that little by little start to make a big mas, that eventually turns into an underwater mountain, or rather a mid-ocean ridge.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
A scale is usually defined as the ratio between the distance between two particular places on the map and the actual distance between the two places on the actual ground surface.
It is widely used by the geographers while studying a map, in order to explain the relationship between the map distance and the earth's distance. This scale is mentioned in the map, mostly at the bottom of the map.
For example, a map scale of 1:500000, this means that 1 centimeter on the map is equivalent to 5000 meters = 5 kilometers on the ground surface.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
