Extrusion is older than intrusion because, an extrusion is always younger than the rocks below it. An intrusion is always younger than the rock layers around and beneath it. Hope the answers correct ;)

Do you find older rock above or below younger rock?

The law of superposition states: in horizontal rock layers, each layer is older than the one above it and younger than the one below it.


In general the law of superposition states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rock each layer is?

Younger than the layer below it.


Are layers of rock above and below the coal or older and younger?

Every layer of rock, as one moves up from the core, is younger than the one below it. This means that the layers of rock above and below the coal are different ages, with the one above younger and the one below older.


Evaluate the age of rocks You find three undisturbed rock layers The middle layer is 120 million years old What can you say about the ages of the layers above and below it?

The layer above the 120 million-year-old layer must be younger, and the layer below must be older. So, the layer above the middle layer will be younger than 120 million years, and the layer below the middle layer will be older than 120 million years.


If middle layer of rock is 120 million years old what can be said about above and below layer?

The layers above the 120 million-year-old middle layer are likely younger, while the layers below are likely older. This indicates a relative chronological sequence in the deposition of the rock layers, following the principle of superposition in geology.


What is the defointion for the law of superstition?

the law of superstition is the geologi principle that states that in horizontal layers of sedimentary rock.Each layer is older than the layer above it and younger than the layer below it


Are the layers of rock above and below the coal older or younger?

Every layer of rock, as one moves up from the core, is younger than the one below it. This means that the layers of rock above and below the coal are different ages, with the one above younger and the one below older.


Is the fault older or younger the rock layer A Explain?

To determine whether the fault is older or younger than rock layer A, we can use the principle of cross-cutting relationships. If the fault cuts through rock layer A, it is younger than that layer, as it must have formed after the rock was deposited. Conversely, if rock layer A is found to be disrupted by the fault, then the fault is older. Therefore, examining the relationship between the fault and rock layer A is key to establishing their relative ages.


Brief note on the law of superposition?

It is a law that the higher the rock layer is the younger it is. The deeper it is the older the rock layer is.


How does the age of a rock layer compare with an igneous intrusion that is through it or an igneous rock extrusion above it?

If it is above it, the rock layer came after the intrusion. if the intrusion went through the rock layer is older because they layer had to be there in order for the intrusion to go through.


What do an intrusion and an extrusion tell us about the rock layers?

(Intrusion) You can learn how old the rock layers are around it. the rock layers around under and all around the intrusion are always older than the intrusion itself. (EXTRUSION) the layers of rock bellow the extrusion is older than the extrusion.


How the principle of superposition was used in determining the relative ags of the cross sections?

The principle of superposition states that the higher layers are younger because they must be laid down on a layer below, which is therefore older, can be used in cross-sections. Each layer, going up, is younger than all the previous layers.
