Actually its the matching up of rocks of the same age from place to place is called correlation of the rock layers.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a permeable layer of rock and an impermeable layer?
Impermiable rock means nothing can go through it
What is the name of the bottom rock layer?
The bottom layer of a sedimentary rock is called the basal layer. This layer is considered the coarsest in the rock.
What layer of the earth is the solid rock layer?
The lithosphere is the physical layer of hard brittle rock. The remainder of the mantle that is not contained in the lithosphere is the layer of ductile rock.
What is rock layers?
rock layering is where you have one layer of old rock them a newer layer then an other newer layer.
How can you tell what layer of rock is oldest or youngest?
In undisturbed rock layers, the principle of superposition states that the youngest rock layers are on top and the oldest are at the bottom. This means that the rock layer closest to the surface is the youngest, while the layer at the bottom is the oldest. Additionally, the principle of cross-cutting relationships helps determine relative ages by looking at how faults and intrusions cut across rock layers.
What is a layer of sedimentary?
a layer of rock
When a layer or several layers of rock are missing from a rock layer is a what?
disconformitiesangular unconformitiesnonconformities
What is the name for the bottom oldest layer of rock?
The bottom layer of rock in a geologic sequence is usually called the basement layer.
Superposition can best be explained new layer on old layer?
Superposition is the theory that the rock layer that is on top is the youngest and the layer of rock on the bottom is the oldest.
What feature is formed when a sedimentary rock layer overlies a nonsedimentary rock layer?
Unconformity
Upwarding-arching rock layer?
An upwards arching layer of rock is known as an anticline.
What layer of sedimentary rock was deposited first?
The layer of sedimentary rock that was deposited first is typically the lowest layer in a sedimentary sequence, known as the "oldest" layer. According to the principle of superposition, in undisturbed sedimentary rock formations, the layers are arranged with the oldest at the bottom and the youngest at the top. This means that the first layer deposited is usually the one furthest down in the sequence. However, geological events like folding or faulting can complicate this arrangement.
