true A+
true A+
The law of superposition which states that younger rocks or sediments are deposited or formed on top of older ones.
The closer the sediment is to the mid-ocean ridge, the younger it is. The oldest bedrock is found the farthest away from it.
the theory that layer of sediments are geologically younger than the layers found below it
the answer is cool
true A+
FALSE
Older, as it moves away from the mid-ocean ridge the sediment gets thicker and older
The law of superposition which states that younger rocks or sediments are deposited or formed on top of older ones.
Alluvium refers to clay, silt, sand, gravel, or similar detrital material deposited by running water. New alluvium are these sediments that are being deposited right now and older alluvium refers to sediments that were deposited a short while before the new alluvium. For example, a 500 years ago some sediments were deposited in a stream bed and last year more sediments were deposited in that same stream bed. The 500 year old sediment would be older alluvium and the 1 year old sediment would be the younger alluvium.
Theory of Super Position.
The closer the sediment is to the mid-ocean ridge, the younger it is. The oldest bedrock is found the farthest away from it.
the theory that layer of sediments are geologically younger than the layers found below it
Principle stating that older rock layers are beneath younger rock layers.
the answer is cool
they are younger and extrusions are older. they are younger because the surrounding rock layers had to have been there first in order for it to appear. :)
Younger than all three sediments.
