What can scientists determine by studying folds faults and intrusions in rock?

What are three types of clues to the relative age of rock layers other than the law of superposition?
To determine relative age, geologists also study extrusions and intrusions of igneous rock, faults, gaps in the geologic record, and inclusions.
How are faults intrusions and extrusions similar?
by looking at it
What are the four ways rock layers can become disturbed?
4 ways are folding, tilting, intrusions, and faults. Hope this helped :)
Do scientists use tiltmeters to locate hidden faults?
No

How do you determine the relative age relationship of faults to the rocks they cut?
Relatively, they are younger than the rock they cut through.
What does normal faulting mean?
Normal faults are when you have hanging walls that slide down relative to and below the footwall. Dip-slip faults are normal faults.

What do scientists use to locate hidden faults?
Earthquakes
Do scientists use tiltmeters to locate hidden faults?
No
Explain how physical features are used to determine relative age?
physical features are tilting,faults,intrusion and folding also, using superposition as long as u know which order these go by u can figure out relative age of a rock
How can scientists map hidden faults?
By studying how the earth's crust reacts to earthquakes, volcanoes, or underground explosions and the like.
Faults are important because?
Faults are important because it can move the blocks relative to each other. And they can have a major influence on the shaping of the landscape.
What do scientists use to discover hidden faults?
laser-ranging device
