Geologic history involves learning the order of events in the past (which came first?), and, what happened. Part of "what happened" is reconstructing what the environment was like in the past. What is accurate about the human effort to learn about past environments?

The options:

A) Sediments and sedimentary rocks include almost no clues about past environments.

B) Sediments and sedimentary rocks provide much information about whether they were deposited in the ocean or on land, whether the climate was hot or cold and wet or dry, and more.

C) Sediments and sedimentary rocks tell us a little bit about whether the past environment was a lake or desert, but not much else.

D) Sediments and sedimentary rocks provide no information whatsoever about the past.

E) Sediments and sedimentary rocks reveal that our primitive ancestors of previous millennia survived on pizza and Pepsi.

The CORRECT ANSWER IS B)

B) Sediments and sedimentary rocks provide much information about whether they were deposited in the ocean or on land, whether the climate was hot or cold and wet or dry, and more.

Explanation:

Ranging from Lake or ocean or sand dune or glacier, warm to the adequate and exact requirements of the crocodiles, wet to the necessary level for trees, and so on and so forth — sediments and sedimentary rocks acts as an effective record for which the information or concept of the past are stored.

Sedimentary rocks can be wholly referred to as a thin veneer over a crust that constitutes majorly of igneous and metamorphic rocks substances. Sedimentary rocks are accumulated in layers known as strata, developing into a structure referred to as bedding. ... Sediments and sedimentary rocks are more so basic home stores of natural resources such as coal, fossil fuels, drinking water or ores.
