Geologic Mapping

This geologic law states that fossils succeed each other vertically in a specific, reliable order that can be identified over wide horizontal distances.

• Law of Faunal Succession
• Law of Crosscutting Relationships
• Law of Inclusions
• Law of Superposition

In this fault, rocks slide past each other with little to no vertical movement.

• Normal Fault
• Reverse Fault
• Strike-Slip Fault
• Oblique Fault

In this common map projection, areas inflate with latitude.

• Mercator
• Gall-Peters
• Mollweide
• Goode's Homolosine

The Law of Superposition helps scientists to determine what?

• The absolute age of rock layers
• The age of fossils
• The relative age of rock layers
• the super powers of rocks

Relative dating of rock layers tells us that the deeper we dig, _______.

• the younger the rocks get
• the smellier the rocks get
• the harder the rocks get
• the older the rocks get
