Are the Rocks near axial are younger or older than the rocks in Oregon?
What is axial?
How are the laws of superposition and crosscutting relationships used to determine the age of rocks?
They are used to determine the relative ages of rocks by stating that younger rocks lie above older rocks, and that rocks that cut through a layer are younger than the existing layer.

Here rocks above this surface are forced up and over rocks below the surface?
This geological phenomenon is called overthrusting, where older rocks are pushed up and over younger rocks due to tectonic forces. It results in the older rocks being positioned above the younger ones.
How do extrusions intrusions and faults determine the relative age of rocks?
Extrusions, intrusions, and faults are key features used in relative dating of rocks. When lava extrudes onto the surface and solidifies, it creates a layer of igneous rock that is younger than the rocks beneath it. Intrusions, which occur when molten rock pushes into existing rock layers, are also younger than the surrounding rocks they invade. Faults are fractures where rocks have moved; they are younger than the rocks they cut through, indicating that the rocks were already present before the fault occurred.
What states that for undisturbed rocks the oldest rocks are on the bottom and the rocks become younger and younger toward the top?
To me generally I think it's Principle of Superposition : )
How can older rocks be found on top of younger rocks in a cross-section?
This can happen due to the process of tectonic activity, where older rocks are pushed up and over younger rocks during mountain-building events, known as thrust faults. As a result, the relative positions of rocks are altered, with older rocks ending up on top of younger rocks in the Earth's crust.
Why is the younger sister so awesome?
because she rocks and she is the younger sister.
What is it called when younger rocks are layered on top of older rocks?
superposition
What older rocks lie under younger rocks?
the answer is the principle of superposition
What is supersition?
It says the younger rocks lie above older rocks if the rocks have not been disturbed .
In undisturbed rocks The older rock on the bottom and the younger of the rocks are on top?
yes.

Why are some rocks younger then the formation of the solar system?
Some rocks are younger then the formation of the solar system because of changes caused by volcanic activity

It states that fault cut through rocks is always younger than the rocks itcuts?
Yes
