Question

Which describes the law of super position, used to find the relative age of fossils and rocks
GPT 3.5
The law of superposition is a basic principle in geology that states that in any sequence of undisturbed sedimentary rocks, the youngest rocks are found at the top, while the oldest rocks are found at the bottom. This law is crucial for determining the relative age of fossils and rocks. By comparing the vertical positions of different sedimentary layers and the fossils they contain, scientists can infer the relative chronological order in which they were deposited. Consequently, the law of superposition allows for the construction of a relative geological timeline, showcasing the temporal order of various fossil species and rock formations.
