Question

2 this text lists four geological principles created by nicolas steno. what is one purpose of these principles? a to help geologists understand how rock layers have been deposited or disturbed over time b to help geologists understand how different types of tectonic plate collisions can cause earthquakes c to help geologists understand that sediment doesnt follow the law of gravity in how it is deposited d to help geologists understand specifically how volcanic eruptions and the flow of lava affect earth

Explanation:

Nicolas Steno's geological principles focus on rock - layer deposition and disturbance. They help geologists understand the relative ages and formation processes of rock layers. Tectonic plate collisions, sediment gravity, and volcanic eruptions are not the main focus of these principles.

Answer:

A. to help geologists understand how rock layers have been deposited or disturbed over time
