"Uses the law of superposition to determine which rock is older or younger."
Explanation: Relative age tells whether a rock is older or younger than other rocks (not its numeric age). That uses principles like the law of superposition. It does not give an exact (numeric) age, usually requires comparing multiple layers or features, and location within a single layer doesn't determine relative age.
