How would you know which rock layer in a canyon is the oldest?
The oldest rock layer in a canyon is typically the layer found at the bottom. This is because new layers of rock are deposited on top of older layers over time, resulting in a sequence with the oldest rocks located at the base of the canyon. Geologists use principles of stratigraphy, such as the Law of Superposition, to determine the relative ages of rock layers in a canyon.
What is the basement rock layer at the bottom of the Grand Canyon?
Garnets and black rocks
Which layer of rock is the oldest?
The basement is a term sometimes used, and Cratonis another used in a continental context.The Principle of Superposition has it that in a given formation, the top layers are the youngest, and the deeper layers the oldest.
