Answer:
This question is actually an English Language question not a Geography question.
The task is to select the option that is most grammatically correct with respect to Subject-Verb agreement and parallelism.
Subject verb agreement simply means the subject and verb must agree in number. This means both need to be singular or both need to be plural.
The Answer therefore is A) <em>core rotates independently of and more quickly than Earth's outer layers is responsible for advancing studies of the flow of heat from the inner through the outer planet and of the formation and periodic reversal in direction of Earth's magnetic field</em>
Explanation:
In the line <em>"The discovery is responsible for advancing the studies (1. of the flow of heat 2. of the formation and periodic reversal)"</em>
The first clue is that the subject is the discovery, a singular and therefore the main verb will be "is". So eliminate options C and D.
Option B misses the parallel "of" in the second part.
Option E distorts the parallelism by stating "of how" in the second part
Only option A only maintains the prepositional parallelism

Oceans change the land along the shore, forming tall cliffs and jagged coastlines. "The abrasive nature of seawater causes the rocks to erode over a period of time", the statement explains the type of weathering involved in this process
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The abrasive nature of the sea water of the ocean causes erosion in the rocks which are along the shore. And, this occurs for a period of time causes the formation of the tall cliffs sometimes or to the jagged coastline the other time.
The duration of erosion decides the fate of the cliff or coastline. Erosion of rocks are highly evident in ocean shore line due to the effect of salinity of the sea water. The rocks gets eroded firstly to form jagged coastline which on long exposed erosion forms cliff.
