Question

use what you know about relative dating to choose the correct answers from the drop - down menus. ethan determines that layer b is 3.5 million years old. due to the, he can estimate th principle of original horizontality law of superposition absolute age

Explanation:

The law of superposition in geology states that in undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top. If the age of one layer (layer B here) is known, the relative ages of other layers can be estimated using this law. The principle of original horizontality relates to the initial horizontal deposition of sediments and absolute age is the actual age of a rock or fossil, not a principle for relative - dating in this context.

Answer:

law of superposition
