Question

The theory that states undisturbed layers of rock have the oldest layers on the bottom and the youngest on the top is known as __________.

  1. Law of superposition

  2. Stratum

  3. Fossil record

  4. Rock cycle

hintHint:

  • The principle is based on position of rocks layers.

The correct answer is:

Law of superposition


    Law of superposition
    • The principle used by scientists to know the ages of rocks layers.

    • The principle States that the oldest layer is at the base and that the layers progressively younger with ascending order in the sequence.
