You learn that expose rock layers are the evidence that there was erosion and disturbances going on in that area.
Uneven rock layers.
sedimentary rock
Yes, plate shifting can cause previously hidden rock layers to be exposed through processes such as uplift, folding, faulting, or erosion. This can reveal older rock layers that were buried beneath the Earth's surface.
it is a sloping layer of permeable rock sandwiched between two layers of impermeable rock and exposed at the surface.
Correlating exposed rock layers without fossils can be done by comparing rock type, color, texture, and layering patterns. By identifying unique features or events like faults or igneous intrusions within the rock layers, you can establish correlations based on these characteristics. Additionally, looking at the relative position and orientation of the rock layers can provide clues for correlation.

Erosion, caused by wind and water.
Buried rock layers can be exposed to erosion through geological processes such as uplift and tectonic activity, which raise them to the surface. Once exposed, natural forces like wind, water, and ice begin to wear away the rock layers over time. Additionally, human activities such as mining or construction can also contribute to the exposure and subsequent erosion of these buried rock layers. Over time, this process reveals the geological history recorded in the stratification of the rocks.

(Intrusion) You can learn how old the rock layers are around it. the rock layers around under and all around the intrusion are always older than the intrusion itself. (EXTRUSION) the layers of rock bellow the extrusion is older than the extrusion.
Yes, in an anticline, the oldest rock layers are typically found at the center. This geological structure forms when rock layers are folded upwards, creating a convex shape. As a result, the sequence of rock layers is inverted, with the oldest strata exposed in the middle, while younger layers are found on the outer sides.
