Superposition - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Law of Superposition - Answer-Younger layers of rock sit atop older layers Law of Initial Horizontality - Answer-Layers of sedimentary rock are initially deposited flat in layers. relative age dating - Answer-the fossil assemblage existing within a rock specimen can be used to determine upper and lower possible age. Gives age range. Example: 100 to 200 mya. radiometric dating - Answer-the process of measuring the absolute age of geologic material by measuring the concentrations of radio...

Geology 1113 Exam #2 Questions With Answers Match the relative dating principles with the correct definition: Superposition The oldest is on the bottom, the youngest on top A mammoth frozen in the Arctic tundra of Siberia would be an example of which type of fossilization?
