Answer:

A. Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.

Explanation:

Earth's crust can be divided into two categories, oceanic and continental. More of the surface is covered by oceanic crust, but because ocean crust is thinner than continental crust, the volume of the latter is significantly greater.

Oceanic crust is also denser than continental crust as it is made up of basaltic rock, whereas it's continental counterpart contains a type of less dense rock called felsic.

D. historical geology involves the study of rock strata, fossils, and geologic events, utilizing the geologic time scale as a reference; physical geology includes the study of how rocks form and of how erosion shapes the land surface

It is examining the formation of the rocks, the volcanic eruptions, the earthquake activities, and even the effects of the pollution. On the other side, the historical geology is focused on the past. This part of the geology uses the geological time scale as its reference. It is examining the layers of the rocks, and through it tries to explain what happened in the past, how were the geological processes working. Also, the fossils are one of the main focuses because they provide lot of information about the environment in which they lived.
