what is the Law of superposition and how is it used to provide ages of rock layers
The law of superposition states that each rock layer is older than the one above it.
The law of superposition states that each rock layer is younger than the one above it.
The law of superposition states that each rock layer is older than the one below it.
The law of superposition states that each rock layer is younger than the one below it.
what is the cross cutting principle and how is it used to provide ages of rock layers
The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that is cuts through
The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is older than the rocks that it cuts through
The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is the same age as the rocks it cuts through
the law of superposition relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that is cuts through
what is an intrusion
when magma pushes into cracks in already existing rocks and softens
when lava pushes into cracks in already existing rocks and hardens

what is Relative Dating
is used to arrange geological events and the rocks they leave ahead
when you date your relative
is used to arrange geological events and the rocks they leave behind
what is weathering and erosion
Weathering is the building up or putting together of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion eats the bits of rock and minerals away.
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the moons surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.
what is a fossil
a beaker
a white rock that is very hard to find
a living organism that lives deep underground
the remains of a prehistoric organism in petrified form or as a mold in rock.
a bone a dog eats
what is an unconformity
a surface of contact between two groups of unconformable strata.
a surface of contact between three groups of unconformable strata.
a surface of contact between four groups of unconformable strata.
a surface of contact between five groups of unconformable strata.
what is an Angular Unconformity
An angular unconformity is an unconformity where horizontally parallel strata of sedimentary rock are deposited on tilted and eroded layers, producing an angular discordance with the overlying horizontal layers.
An angular unconformity is an unconformity where horizontally parallel strata of igneous rock are deposited on tilted and eroded layers, producing an angular discordance with the overlying horizontal layers.
An angular unconformity is an unconformity where horizontally parallel strata of metamorphic rock are deposited on tilted and eroded layers, producing an angular discordance with the overlying horizontal layers.
what is a disconformity
is when the sedimentary strata is over a igneous strata.
is when the sedimentary strata is over metamorphic strata.
is when the sedimentary strata is over another sedimentary strata.
what is a nonconformity
when sedimentary rock strata is just on top
when sedimentary rock strata is just on bottom
when sedimentary rock strata is on top and bottom
when sedimentary rock strata is just on nothing
what is a index fossil
a fossil that is useful for just correlating rocks
a fossil that is useful for just dating rocks
a dino finger
a fossil that is useful for dating and correlating rocks
which ones are index fossils
B and D, C and F
A and E, B and F
B and F, C and D
E and B, A and F
how are index fossils used to help correlate rock layers
if they look the same, found in multiple locations and lived a short life
if they look the same, found in one location and lived a short life
if they look the same, found in multiple locations and lived a long life
what are the 2 different ways you can correlate rock layers
looking at it and saying yes
matching rock characteristics, and index fossils
matching rock characteristics, and fossils
matching rock characteristics, and bones
what are Correlating rock layers
the matching of rock layers from two areas to another
the matching of rock layers from four areas to another
the matching of rock layers from one area to another
the matching of rock layers from three areas to another
