Sedimentary
The Law of Superposition states that the oldest layer is at the bottom and the youngest at the top. Therefor, what is new builds upon what is preexisting.
This is the law of original horizontality. It is often used in support of evolution as it shows the age of different types of species.
Law of Superposition
is the oldest
the law of superposition is the three group names
According to the Law of Superposition, any sequence of rocks in layers, undisturbed, youngest on top, oldest at bottom
Well, the oldest magazine would be on the bottom of the pile. The youngest/recent one would be on the top just like superposition and how the youngest rock layers are on the top and oldest on the bottom.
Sedimentary
relative
The age layers of rocks.
The Law of Superposition states that the oldest layer is at the bottom and the youngest at the top. Therefor, what is new builds upon what is preexisting.
This is the law of original horizontality. It is often used in support of evolution as it shows the age of different types of species.
By applying the law of superposition, relative dates can be determined. This law states that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks deposited in layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest is on the bottom.
