states that an undisturbed sedimentary rock layer is older than the layers above it and younger than the layers below it.

Is a law

A law that states the earth is flat

Do aliens move rocks in deserts

The age of a rock formation compared to the surrounding rock formations or geological events.

The age of trees in a forest.

The age of people as they get old.

The age of the earth.

The age of a person when they die.

Ages of the earth.

The age of a rock layer given as the number of years since the rock layer was formed.

It states how old a tree is by looking at layers of the tree.

Sedimentary rock layers are most commonly deposited horizontally.

If an igneous intrusion or a fault cuts through existing rocks, the intrusion/fault is YOUNGER than the rock it cuts through.

is a shift in the crust that causes the rock on opposite sides of a fault to move.

is a shift in the rocks that causes the crust on opposite sides of a fault to move.

The rock above the fault moves downward compared to the block below the fault that moves upwards.

The block above the fault moves up, and the block of rock below the fault moves downward.

form when two blocks of rock are pushed together.

form when two blocks of rock are pulled apart.

occur when two blocks of rock slide horizontally past each other in opposite directions

occur when two blocks of rock slide vertically past each other in opposite directions

a series of repeating normal faults that cause a large section of rock to fall creating a valley called the Graben, and a section of rock to rise called the Horst.

a series of repeating reverse faults that cause a large section of rock to fall creating a valley called the Graben, and a section of rock to rise called the Horst.

a series of repeating strike slip faults that cause a large section of rock to fall creating a valley called the Graben, and a section of rock to rise called the Horst

is a gap in the geologic record showing where rock layers are missing due to weathering and erosion.

is a type of unconformity in which layers of sedimentary rock rests on top of older igneous or metamorphic rocks.
