Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ In a sedimentary sequence the units at the bottom are older than those at the top. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Law of Superposition⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹This principle, known as the Law of Superposition, states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks, each layer is older than the one above and younger than the one below. This is one of the fundamental principles of stratigraphy, the study of rock layers and layering.⚹◊What are the principles of relative dating in stratigraphy according to Steno's laws?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
