Base your answer on the bedrock cross section below, which represents part of Earth's crust where natural gas, oil, and water have moved upward through a layer of folded sandstone and filled the pore spaces at the top of the sandstone layer. The final arrangement of the natural gas, oil, and water within the sandstone was caused by differences in their

• density

• specific heat

• relative age

• radioactive half-life
