The team is comparing the Kelt site to the Dray site to determine which would likely provide a more stable foundation for surface infrastructure. Which site will they likely select, and why?
Answer
A
Dray, because thinner layers distribute weight more evenly, increasing strength.
B
Kelt, because higher porosity allows better drainage, which improves stability.
C
Kelt, because uniform bedding and higher compaction create stronger internal cohesion.
D
Dray, because chaotic bedding allows more cement to form between grains.
