Older rocks are typically found in the Earth's crust, particularly in regions known as cratons or shields, which are stable portions of the continental crust that have remained relatively unchanged for billions of years. These ancient rocks can also be located in mountain ranges formed by tectonic activity, where geological processes have exposed deeper layers of the Earth's crust. Additionally, older rocks may be present in sedimentary basins where they have been buried and subsequently uplifted.
What else can I help you with?
Are continental rocks or oceanic rocks older?

What are sedimentary rock composed of older rocks called?
Sedimentary rocks composed of older rocks are called "conglomerate" or "breccia." These rocks form when fragments of older rocks are compacted and cemented together to create a new rock.
Where did the small grains of rocks come from?
Older rocks.
How can older rocks be found on top of younger rocks in a cross-section?
This can happen due to the process of tectonic activity, where older rocks are pushed up and over younger rocks during mountain-building events, known as thrust faults. As a result, the relative positions of rocks are altered, with older rocks ending up on top of younger rocks in the Earth's crust.
Which rocks are older the rocks found within a few meteres?

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
How old are rocks found in Apollo missions?
The moon rocks are older then the rocks found on earth.
What is supersition?
It says the younger rocks lie above older rocks if the rocks have not been disturbed .

What is axial?
