In any undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks, each bed is older than the layers above and younger than the layers below.

• law of superposition

• principle of original horizontality

• principle of cross-cutting relationships

• uniformitarianism

Establishing the equivalence of rocks of similar age in different areas.

• uniformitarianism

• correlation

• succession

• radiometric dating

A surface that represents a break in the rock record, caused by erosion or lack of deposition.

• inclusion

• intrusion

• unconformity

• law of superposition

A fault or intrusion is younger than any geologic feature through which it cuts.

• law of superposition

• principle of original horizontality

• fossil succession

• principle of cross-cutting relationships
