<u>Bioclastic</u> rocks are actually sub-parts of <u>clastic</u> rocks, not a completely different thing altogether.
<u>Clastic</u> rocks are made up of loosened bits of pre-existing rocks. These rocks are formed from weathering, breaking those larger rocks down into little particles (for example, a grain of sand) due to external weather factors such as wind or rain. Some examples of these rocks would be sandstone, conglomerate, and silistone. They are classified by the size and shape of the fragments they are made up of.
<u>Bioclastic</u> rocks are also made up of loosened bits, however, they are not made of rock. They are made of fossils and biogenic (made by living organisms) particles (for example, pieces of shells and coral). These rocks are formed from small parts of pre-existing organisms compacting together to form a rock. Examples of this type of rock would be coquina and limestone, or more specifically, bioclastic limestone. Bioclastic rocks have a very crystalline texture and it is highly likely that you will see a shell in this rock type.
The answer is that Both aid in the expansion and relaxation of lungs. Diaphragm and the rib muscles are vital in the breathing process. During inhalation the intercostal muscles contract, expanding the ribcage, the diaphragm contracts, pulling downwards to increase the volume of the chest, pressure inside the chest is lowered and air is sucked into the lungs. During exhalation the intercostal muscles relax, the ribcage drops inward and downwards, the diaphragm relaxes, moving back upwards, decreasing the volume of the chest, the pressure inside the chest increases and air is forced out.
The answer is B
Hope this helps
