What is the best indication of a relative age of a rock layer?
The best indication of the relative age of a rock layer is its position in relation to other rock layers. The principle of superposition states that in a sequence of undisturbed rock layers, the oldest layer is at the bottom and the youngest is at the top. Cross-cutting relationships, fossil succession, and original horizontality can also provide clues for determining relative age.
What process compares one rock layer with other in a sequence?
Relative dating...
What process compares one rock layer with other in sequence?

How can you use fossils and geologic-features interpret the relative age of rock layer?
Geologists use carbon-14 to interpret the relative age of rock layers
Which phrase describes the relative age of a rock?
refers to how old a certain rock or rock layer is compared to another rock
What process compares one rock layer with ones above and below it?
relative dating
What is the method of dating fossil by their position in rock layer?

What is the methods that tells you which layer of rock is oldest but does not tell you exactly how old?
Relative dating
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.
How can fossills be used to determine the relative ages of rock layers?
fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layer by using the classification of fossils to find the relative ages of rocks in which fossils are found. :] hoped i helped you out.
Does the law of superposition helps geologist determine the absoloute age of a rock layer?
no, the relative age
What does relative dating provide for the age of a rock layer or fossil?
Relative dating provides an estimated age of a rock layer or fossil based on its position in relation to other rock layers or fossils. It helps determine the sequence of events in Earth's history, but does not provide an exact numerical age.
