Answer: Increase in compactness of the material. 
Explanation:
Evaporites are the sedimentary rocks that are formed by the sediments and brines of the materials being degraded or withered from the parent and pre-existing rocks. The water is also lost from the withered material due to evaporation. The borax and gypsum also lose water to become evaporites and the increase in compactness due to loss of water molecules and increase in intramolecular forces between solid substances in the rock helps in sedimentation of the rock. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
C. Prohase 1
Explanation:
It is during prophase 1 of meiosis that crossing over occurs before tetrads or homologues pair of chromosomes are alligned across the equator of metaphase 1. In Meiosis 11, only the sister chromatics will be left or remain and the homologues pair of chromosomes would be moved to separate cells.

The pectoral girdle articulates with the axial skeleton only at the Sternoclavicular ligament<span>. The pectoral girdle connects the upper limbs to the axial skeleton and serves as the attachment site for the muscles of the upper back, chest and neck. The clavicle is the only long bone that lies in a horizontal position in the body. it has three regions; the medial end, the lateral end, and the shaft. The medial end has a triangular shape and articulates with the manubrium portion of the sternum. This forms sternoclavicular joint, which is the only bony articulation between the pectoral girdle of the upper limb and the axial skeleton. </span>
