What is the geologic law that scientists use to date the crust by studying the layers of rocks called?
The law of superposition states that the oldest strata in an undisturbed formation of rock are the oldest.
Sedimentary rocks are sperated by a line of weakness what is it called?
strata
In undeformed strata where are the rocks typically the densest?
In the lowest layers
What layer of the earth is made of rocks and soil?
The crust because that is the outer layer and we live on the crust so... there are rocks on the layer we live on! The answer is Crust.
How can older rocks be found on top of younger rocks in a cross-section?
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.
What is the geologic law that scientists use to date the crust by studying the layers of rocks called?
The law of superposition states that the oldest strata in an undisturbed formation of rock are the oldest.
What provides geologist with evidence of earths past including geologic events and life forms?
The rocks of Earth's crust, especially sedimentary rocks
What is thrust?
A thrust fault is a type of fault, or break in the Earth's crust across which there has been relative movement, in which rocks of lower stratigraphic position are pushed up and over higher strata.
What is the position in which fossils and rocks are placed in strata?
sideways
What are the layers found in sedimentary rocks called?
The layers in sedimentary rocks are called strata.
What are the layers of sedimentary rocks called?
Strata (singular: stratum)
Sedimentary rocks are sperated by a line of weakness what is it called?
strata
In undeformed strata where are the rocks typically the densest?
In the lowest layers
What are the layers found in sedementary rocks called?
They're called strata. Strata less than 1cm thick are Laminae.
What is the difference between strata and stratification?
Stratification is the process by sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers. Strata is just the layers of rock
Is continental crust is made of rocks such as granite?
There are many different ryes of rocks in continental crust. Granite is one of the rocks that makes up continental crust.
