What older rocks lie under younger rocks?
the answer is the principle of superposition
What is it called when younger rocks are layered on top of older rocks?
superposition
The idea that the oldest rocks will always be the bottom layer of a series of rock layers is known as the principle of what?
The idea that the oldest rocks will always be found at the bottom layer of a sequence of rock layers is known as the principle of superposition. This principle states that in an undisturbed sequence of sedimentary rocks, the youngest rocks are at the top and the oldest rocks are at the bottom.
What does the law of superposition tell us about rocks?
youngest on top
How would a geologist use the principle of superposition to determine the relative ages of the rocks in the grand canyon?
A geologist would use the principle of superposition in the Grand Canyon by observing that in an undisturbed sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the youngest rocks are at the top, and the oldest rocks are at the bottom. By examining the layering of rocks in the canyon walls, they can determine the relative ages of the rocks based on their position within the sequence. This allows them to create a relative chronology of the geological history of the canyon.

Why are use superposition theorem?
Why be use does Superposition. imposissition waves wavees 2 direction opposite interference!
What states that for undisturbed rocks the oldest rocks are on the bottom and the rocks become younger and youngers towards the top?
To me generally I think it's Principle of Superposition : )

What states older rocks lie under younger rocks?
In geology, the principle of superposition states that in any undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest rocks are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom. This means that older rocks lie under younger rocks. This principle is a key concept in understanding the relative ages of geological formations.
What is superpostioning?
The Law of Superposition states that younger layers of deposition will form on top of older layers of deposition.
The Law of Superposition is most relevant when studying which type of rock?
The Law of Superposition states that underlying strata are older than overlying strata unless the layers have been disturbed by other processes. Hence the law would be most relevant when studying sedimentary rocks (but not excusively).
