Which principle can be used to determine the relative of the age of an igneous called a dike? -cross-cutting relations -originals horizontality -superposition -cross-cutting relations In geology, determining time equivalency in rocks is called -correlation -continuity -corresponding Which of the numbered features is the youngest? -conglomerate (1) -formation of the fold (5) -shale layer (3) -lower sedimentary (4) -unconformity (2) Where are the oldest rocks in the column of sedimentary rocks shown in the diagram? -at the bottom -in the middle -at the top -at the bottom Where is the oldest layer in this tilted sequence of sedimentary rocks? -The layers on the lower left part of the photograph -the darkest layers -at the top of the hill in the center of the photograph -the layers on the right of the photograph Which numbered in this photograph represents the youngest layer? -1 -2 -3 -4 Which of the four numbered features on this figure is the oldest? -1 -2 -3 -4 Which of the four sedimentary layers in this figure is the oldest? -the layer on the bottom -the layer in the middle -the layer on the top -there is not enough information to tell This figure shows two sections that partially overlap in age. Dashed lines show how the two sections correlate. What can you conclude from these correlations? -the left section represents older rocks than the right section. -the youngest unit is 6 -the rate at which unit 5 was deposited was constant across the area -the oldest unit is unit 4 -none of these choices are correct
