ANS: C
The White Cliffs of Dover are an example of the lithification of calcareous ooze. Although formations
like these are formed in the ocean, they are brought above sea level due to normal processes of plate
tectonics. Information can be found in the section Pelagic Sediments Vary in Composition and
Thickness.
