Has coarsening-up graded bedding, clear evidence of a gravitational process

It's poorly sorted, indicating a high energy environment

It's a sequence found in many sedimentary environments

Has fining-up graded bedding, clear evidence of a gravitational process

Only vertical facies changes, no transgressions and no onlap

No facies changes, only a sea level change

The complete drowning of the carbonate platform

Lateral

and vertical facies changes, transgressions and onlaps

Because there are inclusions of granite in the limestone, the granite must be older

Because there are inclusions of granite in the limestone, the granite must cross-cut the limestone and, hence, be younger

The contact between the limestone and the granite is a paraconformity

The contact between the limestone and the granite is a non-conformity

The contact between the limestone and the granite is an angular unconformity

This is the result of tectonic subsidence/uplift

This is the result of sedimentary basin filling due to sediment supply

This is the result of eustasy, that is absolute sea level change

All of the above: Absolute sea level change (Eustasy), tectonic uplift/subsidence and basin filling

Defines the ratio of calcareous ooze versus siliceous ooze as a function of oceanic water depth, pressure and temperature

Proposes that the vertical progression of facies should be the same as corresponding lateral facies changes

States that sediment influx with increasing accommodation space will provide a continuous stratigraphic succession

Weighs up the competing scientific theories of catastrophism versus gradualism with regards the Earth's geological past

Relates sedimentary particle size and density to the settling rate of suspended sediment

X = 200, smaller than the critical Reynolds number, then and Y = laminar

X = 5,000,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

X = 1,000,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = laminar

X = 10,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

X = 5000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

Feldspar becomes unstable under low temperatures and most weathering processes occur under low temperatures.

This is a trick question. Feldspar is more resistant to weathering than quartz!

Feldspars have more cations in their crystal lattice than quartz has. These cations are involved in several chemical reactions with water and atmospheric gases, during weathering

Feldspars are weathered by the thawing-freezing of water.
