70. Purity of Strata Layers
Some strata layers spanning huge areas are remarkably pure in their composition. The St. Peter Sandstone for example, spans roughly 500,000 square miles across the central United States. This enormous formation is almost entirely made up of pure quartz A. Since almost all physical processes involve some mixing, global liquifaction appears to be the best explanation for such purity over such vast distances.
