Where are the youngest rocks found?
usually the youngest rocks are found on the top of the earths crust
In undeformed strata where are the rocks typically the densest?
In the lowest layers
Where on the moon have the youngest rocks been found?
Lunar highlands
Where are the youngest seafloor rocks found?
The youngest seafloor rocks are found in the rift valleys of the mid ocean ridges. At the mid-oceanic ridges there is tectonic movement bringing new magma to the surface.
The youngest rocks are found near the center of?
a downwarping known as a basin
In general the law of superposition states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks each layer is .?
older than the one above it
Far where on the moon have the youngest rocks been found?
The youngest rocks found on the moon are igneous rocks. They are found on the Maria, dark, flat regions on the moon.

What is the geologic term that states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks each bed is older than the one above it and younger than the one below it?
The law or principle of superposition.
How do the sequence of sedimentary rocks in cratons differ from those in mountain belts?
The sequences of sedimentary rocks in cratons are typically thin and are relatively undeformed or gently warped. The sequences in mountain belts, meanwhile, are thick and extensively folded and faulted.
Where are the youngest rocks found in viriginia?

What type of mountains are generally made up of undeformed rocks?

Where on the moon have the youngest rocks been found?
Lunar highlands
The youngest seafloor rocks are found?
Next to the sea potatoes
Where is the youngest rock found in the earth's crust found?
The youngest rocks in the crust are found on and near active volcanoes, such as those at mid-ocean ridges.
What does Science know about an undisturbed sequence of rocks based on superposition?
That the youngest rock is on top while the oldest is at the bottom
