Question

1. if a student used the analogy of her stacking books in her locker, which law of relative dating is she referring to? a. law of superposition b. law of crosscutting c. law of inclusions d. law of inertia

Explanation:

The Law of Superposition states that in undisturbed rock layers, the oldest layers are at the bottom and younger ones are on top, similar to stacking books (older at the bottom, newer on top). The Law of Cross - cutting states that a geologic feature that cuts through another is younger. The Law of Inclusions states that inclusions are older than the rock they are in. The Law of Inertia is about motion. So the analogy of stacking books relates to the Law of Superposition.

Answer:

A. Law of Superposition
