Does the law of crosscutting relationships involve sedimentary rock only?
No. The law of crosscutting relations can apply to any rock formation.
What geologic law is applied if an igneous intrusion is observed through a layer of sedimentary rock?
law of crosscutting relationships.
How are the laws of superposition and crosscutting relationships used to determine the age of rocks?
They are used to determine the relative ages of rocks by stating that younger rocks lie above older rocks, and that rocks that cut through a layer are younger than the existing layer.
According to the principle of cross-cutting relationships an intrusive rock body is?
Younger than the rock it intrudes into
When you observe an outcrop of steeply inclined sedimentary layers what principle allows you to assume that the beds became tilted after they were deposited?
Principle of cross-cutting relationships. by applying the cross-cutting principle, you can see that fault A occurred after the sandstone layer was deposited because it "broke" the layer..
Does the law of crosscutting relationships involve sedimentary rock only?
No. The law of crosscutting relations can apply to any rock formation.
What can determine from the principles of crosscutting relationships?
layers that cut across the most are the youngest (apex)
What is the principle of cross cutting relationships?
Crosscutting includes fractures (cracks in rocks), faults (fractures where movement has occurred), or masses of magma that cut across preexisting rocks before cooling. Any crosscutting feature must be younger than the rock or sediment it cuts across.
What geologic law is applied if an igneous intrusion is observed through a layer of sedimentary rock?
law of crosscutting relationships.
What is Principle of trigonometry?
The basic principle of trigonometry is that there are mathematical relationships between the sides and angles of a triangle.
What are steno's principles?
They are: 1) Principle of Superposition 2) Principle of Original Horizontality 3) Principle of Lateral Continuity 4) Principle of Cross-Cutting relationships
What can you determine from the principles of crosscutting relationships?
Layers that cut across the most other features are the youngest. (apex)
Why are there crosscutting cleavages between liberals and conservatives in America?
There are crosscutting cleavages between liberals and conservatives because the issues that are causing these crosscutting cleavages are issues that liberals (people who are willing to disregard traditional values in politics) and conservatives (people who believe traditional values are important in politics) are debating over. They have opposite views over these matters. These crosscutting cleavages are based on race, ethnicity, religion, region, and education.
What does crosscutting mean in drama?
Crosscutting (also called intercutting) is a technique used especially in filmmaking in which shots of two or more separate, usually concurrent, scenes are interwoven.
How are the laws of superposition and crosscutting relationships used to determine the age of rocks?
They are used to determine the relative ages of rocks by stating that younger rocks lie above older rocks, and that rocks that cut through a layer are younger than the existing layer.
What is the principle of logic?
The principle behind logic is that there are relationships between two things. Logical statements states a relationship between the two things; A has characteristic B or if A, then B.
According to the principle of cross-cutting relationships an intrusive rock body is .?
Younger than the rock it intrudes into
