Which of steno's principles states that most layers of sediments are deposited in a horizontal position?
original horizontality
How are earths layers different?
They are different because different minerals can be found at different layers. Also, the layers closer to the core of the earth will become more hot, causing melted rock (magma) to form.
A scientist compares the layers of sedimentary rock in a hillside and then applies the principles of relative dating What can the scientist conclude about the hillside?
The chronological order of rock layers from oldest to youngest
What is the scientific explanation for the layers of liquids?
Different densitys
What causes the layers in the atmosphere?
because there are different pressures in the air.
How did Earth's layers develop?
Gravity and Centrifugal force causes the layers to settle, in a similar way to why a centrifuge causes blood in a test tube to split into different groups of material like platelets ect.

What principles tell you how rock layers are laid?
Original horizonality
What causes the different colors in sedimentary rock?
Minerals cause the layers - each mineral has a certain color (and hardness).
What is the force that causes rock layers to crumple and fold?
Compressive stress causes the "crumpling" and folding of rock layers.
What is the scientific names for soil layers?
soil
How would you connect scientific notation with the layers of the earth?
The layers of the earth extend for miles. It would be possible to list those distances in scientific notation.
One of the key principles of relative dating is the law of superposition which states that?
Younger layers of sedimentary rock are deposited on older layers
What causes rock layers to be displaced?
Earthquakes
