How does the law of superposition allow paleontologist to assign relative ages to fossils?
The law of superposition states that the lower down the layer of rock (also called strata) in the ground, the older it is. Therefore, if the fossil is located in a specific strata that is a certain depth beneath the ground it is conclusive as to about how old the fossil is.
What organ allows you to speak?
The jaws of course! It not only allows us to talk, it also allows us to chew on our food!
Why do you need to name typhoons?
Allows us to recognize which one is which.
What allows us to pinpoint locations on the surface of the earth?
gps
Why it is necessary to mention physical states of reactants and products in thermochemical reaction by hess's law?
Hess's law is important to thermochemistry because it allows us to anticipate enthalpy changes of reactions that are too slow to realistically record, such as rusting or reactions that are too fast. Hess's law, stating that the enthalpy is the same regardless of the pathway, allows us to take known enthalpy values and substituting them in to find your target reaction's enthalpy change.

What can radiometric dating tell us about the age of rock that law of superposition cannot?
Radiometric dating can give us the absolute age of the rock. Trace fossils and the Law of Superposition can only provide the relative age of the rock. Radiometric dating is far more specific in formation analysis.
How does the law of superposition help determine the relative age of rocks?
Radiometric dating can give us the absolute age of the rock. Trace fossils and the Law of Superposition can only provide the relative age of the rock. Radiometric dating is far more specific in formation analysis.
How is the law of superposition is used to date fossils?
Superposition is the methodology of younger sediments being deposited over older rocks. Paleontologists can determine the evolution or extinction of a species by looking at what fossils are either present or absent in a particular sedimentary layer.
Federal law age for clubbing in the us?
States determine drinking age.
What does relative dating help determine?
Relative dating helps us to determine the sequential order in which a series of events occurred. It can't tell us WHEN those events occurred, but it allows us to create a basic order of events.
What is the most important physical fact that allows us to determine how the Universe has evolved?
Where did God come from if he made the world?
How old does a girl have to be to get married in US?
The us law is 18. some states may allow at a younger age if pregnat. or if parent allows
What can the judicial branch do to check the legislative branch?
In the United States, the US Supreme Court can determine that a bill passed by the US Congress and signed into law by the President, may be unconstitutional. Thus overturning the law.
