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

Which statements support the claim that Jenner has been given credit for starting and spreading the practice of immunization? Je
Anna11 [10]

Two statements support the claim that Jenner has been given credit for starting and spreading the practice of immunization:

  1. Jenner became interested in the protective effects of cowpox during his apprenticeship. Here, we are told that Edward Jenner started working on ways to defend the body against diseases as early as during his apprenticeship when he was a teenager. He had been told that farm workers who had contracted cowpox were immune to the smallpox epidemic which was spreading across Europe at the time. He then started working on a vaccine containing cowpox.
  2. Jenner made the first step to erase smallpox. This first step was to try his new smallpox vaccine on a child in 1796. The child did not catch smallpox. In order to get recognition and validation from the authorities, Jenner administered his vaccine to 22 more people, with success.
