Make up Law of Superposition

Layers of rock can tell us a lot about the history of an area. The most accurate way to date rock is using the law of superposition.

• True
• False

Which rock cycle process follows weathering and erosion?

• Sedimentary Rock Formation
• Compaction and Cementation
• Deposition
• Heat and Pressure

Which type of rock leads to melting, weathering and erosion, and heat and pressure.

• Sedimentary
• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Biological

This type of rock always comes after heat and pressure.

• Metamorphic
• Igneous
• Sedimentary

________________ is the process of weathered rock pieces moving and coming together to make new rocks.  Big rocks are usually made of smaller rocks.

• Weathering
• Erosion
• Deposition
• Sedimentation

Which of the following is the oldest?

• Layer L
• Intrusion D
• Intrusion H
• Layer E

What is the oldest layer in the outcrop?

• B
• C
• D
• E

_{Which rock layer in the diagram seems to be the oldest?}

• F
• E
• B
• A

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

According to the law of superposition, the oldest fossils are found 

• At the top of the rock layers
• Near the bottom of the rock layers
• In the middle of the rock layers
• Somewhat near the surface
