Your class goes on a field trip to observe drilling machinery. The geologists at the drill site show you displays of drilled rocks to compare different types of drills and methods. The drilled holes in one rock display are significantly larger than the holes drilled in the display next to it. Given this information, which statement is correct? (1 point)
Responses
The rock display with larger holes shows petroleum drilling, which is deep underground.
The rock display with larger holes shows petroleum drilling, which is deep underground.
The rock display with smaller holes shows copper drilling, which is deep underground.
The rock display with smaller holes shows copper drilling, which is deep underground.
The rock display with smaller holes shows petroleum drilling, which is closer to the surface.
The rock display with smaller holes shows petroleum drilling, which is closer to the surface.
The rock display with larger holes shows copper drilling, which is closer to the surface
The correct statement is: The rock display with larger holes shows petroleum drilling, which is deep underground.
To determine which statement is correct, you need to analyze the information provided. The statement says that the drilled holes in one rock display are significantly larger than the holes drilled in the display next to it.
From this information, we can deduce that the rock display with larger holes does not show copper drilling since it mentions that the holes are significantly larger. Therefore, the correct statement is:
The rock display with larger holes shows petroleum drilling, which is deep underground.
As for the rock display with smaller holes, it is not provided in the information what type of drilling it represents. So, we cannot determine if it shows copper drilling or petroleum drilling closer to the surface based solely on the given information.
