The correct description of the law of superposition is:
Fossils in bottom layers are older than fossils in top layers.
This principle is used in geology to determine the relative ages of rock layers and the fossils contained within them.
Which describes the law of superposition used to find the relative age of fossils in rocks?(1 point)
