Can someone help me Identify the rock layers from oldest to youngest, Thanks!?
This is the problem,Thanks!
How do a geologist use the principle of superposition?
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.
Is the youngest or oldest rock on top?
youngest
Which layer of rock is the oldest?
The basement is a term sometimes used, and Cratonis another used in a continental context.The Principle of Superposition has it that in a given formation, the top layers are the youngest, and the deeper layers the oldest.
The laws of superposition and original horizontality are best applied to?
the law of super position basically says, "Sedimentary layers are deposited in a time sequence, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top."
Which of the following correctly lists the layers in order from oldest to youngest?
The oldest is on bottom and youngest on top.
How do you determine the sequence of events in rock layers?
By the law of superposition: Oldest at the bottom and youngest at the top.
What rock layer is the youngest?
The principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest will be at the top, the oldest at the bottom.

How are the layers of rock if they are undisturbed?
The undisturbed rock layers are horizontal and in order of age from youngest nearest the surface to oldest at the bottom of the rock unit.
What is law of superpostion?
In geology, the law of superposition states that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks that are deposited in layers, the oldest layers are on the bottom. Each layer is younger than the layer below it.
From the oldest to youngest, the limestone layers that make up Mammoth cave are the?
Rocks or Bats i think
What is the definition for principal of superposition?
states that the lowest rock in layers is the oldest and the highest is the youngest rock layer
What can you tell from undisturbed rock layers?
You can tell the age of the layers. The bottom layer is the oldest and the top is the youngest. When the layers are disturbed they tend to get bent and messed up and you cannot tell the age
Was Julius Caesar the oldest or the youngest?
The oldest or youngest what?
A scientist compares the layers of sedimentary rock in a hillside and then applies the principles of relative dating What can the scientist conclude about the hillside?
The chronological order of rock layers from oldest to youngest
Can anyone explain to me how to order these sites from youngest to oldest?
To order sites from youngest to oldest, you'll need to look for indicators such as the site's copyright date, its launch date mentioned in the "About Us" section, or by checking the domain registration date using WHOIS tools. By comparing these factors, you can determine the relative order of the sites from the youngest to the oldest.
