Question
imagine that you are buying books one by one and then piling them up after reading them. which geologic concept cou topmost book as the newest? a. principle of inclusion b. principle of lateral continuity c. law of superposition
The law of superposition states that in undisturbed rock layers, the youngest layers are on top and the oldest at the bottom. The scenario of piling books (newest on top) mirrors this concept. The principle of inclusion relates to fragments within a rock, and lateral continuity is about rock layers extending laterally. So the correct concept is the law of superposition.
