Answer:

Sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are the rocks that are formed from the deposition, compaction and lithification of sediments. These sediments are carried from one place to another by the agents such as wind, water and ice. These rocks cover about 75% of the total rocks found at the surface of the earth, but it comprises only 5% of the outer 20 km of the earth. The fossils are found to be embedded in these sedimentary rocks. Some of the examples of these rocks are sandstone, shale, limestone and mudstone.

Thus, the sedimentary rocks covers three-quarter of land on the earth's surface.

why might the agriculture revolution have contributed to the start of the industrial revolution in great Britain?
N76 [4]

The agricultural revolution in Britain was very important, if not the most important factor that led to the industrial revolution.

The reason for this is that with the agricultural revolution, the production on the farmlands increased significantly, and that trend was constantly going upwards. That led to a situation where there was much more production than what the country needed, so it had to be traded. But the trade of the crops was still limited, thus something new was needed, something that will enable the manufacturing of the goods, so that they can be preserved better and last longer, so that they can be traded further away. That economic pressure, led to multiple inventions, which resulted in the development of the industry, thus having the start of the industrial revolution.
