Why is an igneous intrusion younger than the rocks in which it is found?
An igneous intrusion is younger because it forms after the surrounding rocks have already solidified. Magma forces its way into the existing rock layers, and once it cools and solidifies, it is considered younger than the surrounding rocks. This relationship helps geologists determine the sequence of geological events.
How do geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed?
Geologists know that rock layers are undisturbed by examining the relationships between the different layers. If the layers are parallel and show no signs of folding, tilting, or faulting, they are likely undisturbed. Additionally, the presence of index fossils can help date the layers and determine if they have been disturbed.
How do you know that the earth is in layers?
Scientists have determined the layers of the Earth by studying seismic waves from earthquakes. These waves travel through the Earth at different speeds and provide information about the density and composition of the different layers beneath the surface. By analyzing this data, scientists have been able to deduce the Earth's structure and layers.
Layers of rock that bend can produce a downward fold know as a?
Syncline.
What is the age of rock layer C?
The age of rock layer C can be determined using relative dating methods by comparing it to surrounding layers and the fossils found within it, or using absolute dating techniques like radiometric dating to get a specific numerical age.

How can you determine the relative age of a rock layer by looking at a cross section?
In the cross section, examine the different layers. The layer at the very bottom will be the oldest, and the one above would be slightly newer, and the one above that even newer, and so on, until the most recent rock layer is found at the top. Therefore, the layer you study will depend on those features. If you know the age of one layer, you will know the relative age of another.
Why are ice layers important to know?
ice layers are so important to know because describes the history of the ice layers. so scientist can study the ice layers.
Why is the devils tower higher than the surrounding area?
Devils Tower is an igneous intrusion that formed deep underground and has been exposed over time through erosion of the surrounding sedimentary rocks. The more resistant igneous rock of Devils Tower has eroded at a slower rate compared to the surrounding softer sedimentary rocks, resulting in the tower being higher than its surroundings.
What are the special properties of the layers?
We really don't know the layers of the ocean
How do we know if rock layers are undisturbed?
The rock layers will be easily visible.
How do geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed?
