Whenfolding, faulting, and uplifting occurs, the youngest rock layer can not always be on top. With folding the oldest rock layer could get folded over on top of a younger layer. When faulting occurs a younger rock layer can become "lower" or pushed more down in the rock layers that was originally shown. When these things happen, then rock layers can become out of order and the youngest layer is not always on the top of the layer.

Can anyone explain to me how to order these sites from youngest to oldest?

To order sites from youngest to oldest, you'll need to look for indicators such as the site's copyright date, its launch date mentioned in the "About Us" section, or by checking the domain registration date using WHOIS tools. By comparing these factors, you can determine the relative order of the sites from the youngest to the oldest.

How can melting glaciers cause uplifting explain?

A thick ice sheet puts an enormous amount of weight on the rock below it. When a glacier melts, that weight is removed. The asthenosphere, a layer of semisolid rock in the mantle, flows in under the crust in this area due to the decreased pressure, forcing the land upward.


Who is the youngest chimpmunk in Alvin and the chimpmunks?

People think this is true that Theodore is the youngest but their wrong. That's why I'm going to tell you who's youngest if I can explain correctly somehow.Alvin, Theodore and Simon are pretty much the same because Simon was born first, Alvin was born second, and Theodore was born last IN THE SAME DAY (not the same time ;). Just so ya know) I can't tell you the exact time sorry.Another proof is that in Alvin and the chipmunks two, they are sent to the same classroom so none of them are the youngest.PS: I don't know if I'm wrong OR right! Sorry if I am wrong. I'd say Theodore is the youngest SOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Why does pi r squared work?

Depends on what level of math you're on, the most simple of ways to explain is this: If you were to divide the circle into many pieces using the radius, let's say eight pieces. You then rearrange them into a parallelogram and each base is half of the circumference. The height of it is the radius, and using the method to find a parallelogram, BxH=A.
