Those rock layers are quite colorful.
metamorphic rock is made by heat and pressure on layers of sediments and in creates a smooth rock such as granite.
Geologists use carbon-14 to interpret the relative age of rock layers
The various layers inside the earth range from solid rock, like the crust, to liquid metals, like the earth's outer core.
A geologist uses the principle of superposition to determine the relative ages of rocks and sedimentary layers. This principle states that in undisturbed layers of rock, the youngest layers are at the top while the oldest layers are at the bottom. By observing the order in which different rock layers are stacked, a geologist can infer the sequence of events that happened over time in a particular location.

The word 'sedimentary rock' is a compound noun, a word for a thing.A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.Examples:The sedimentary rock told the history of the area in layers. (subject of the sentence)Bits of quartz made the sedimentary rock sparkle in the sun. (direct object of the verb 'made')We climbed up the steps cut into the sedimentary rock. (object of the preposition 'into')Sedimentary rocks are laid down in layers, sometimes on the seabed. (subject of the sentence)

Aquifers are permeable layers of rock that have non permeable layers of rock under them so water remains in the permeable layers
they lick
the way geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed is the rock layers are folded
Gaps in rock layers that develop when agents of erosion remove existing rock layers are known as unconformities.
You can actually see where the rock layers moved on either side of the fault.
the sinking of the rock layers is called subsidence
Rock layers that are forming are stratifying.
