If the strata layers are folded or tilted then the older rocks can be found on top of the younger rocks in a cross-section.
It can be caused mailnly by tectonic forces.
eg.
1. In an overturned fold you can find older rocks above younger.
2. The block of thrust fault can ride over other block hence older rock can lie over younger one.
Yes older sedimentary rocks are usually found beneath younger ones
Think of it as carpet, its been there for 10 years and you want to replace it without disturbing it so you simply put it on top :D
Through the tectonic processes involved in plate movement; folding and faulting.
Yes. It can happen from tectonic disturbances.
sometimes because of faulting or folding
the answer is cool
Younger layers of sedimentary rock are deposited on older layers
With sedimentary rocks, young ones are usually on top of older ones. Where igneous rocks intrude into others, the intrusions must be younger than the surrounding rocks.
relative dating
Yes. These occur when an older section of oceanic crust sub ducts beneath a younger (and therefore less dense) section of oceanic crust.
the answer is cool
they are younger and extrusions are older. they are younger because the surrounding rock layers had to have been there first in order for it to appear. :)
the principal of sedimentarianism
older ones usually push you around when younger ones nag.
Principle stating that older rock layers are beneath younger rock layers.
Principle stating that older rock layers are beneath younger rock layers.
Extrusion is older than intrusion because, an extrusion is always younger than the rocks below it. An intrusion is always younger than the rock layers around and beneath it. Hope the answers correct ;)
It is false that older workers usually cannot work as effectively as younger workers.
Older people are usually nicer than younger people because they tend to settle in one place unlike younger people who are always on the move.
Younger than the layer below it.
