What do the law of superposition and the law of inclusion have in common?

Question

A. both laws give the exact ages of rocks
B. both laws are about the ages of intruding rocks
C. both laws describe the relative ages of rocks
D. both laws are about matching foasils in different areas

Answer 1

C. both laws describe the relative ages of rocks

The law of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rocks, the oldest layers are at the bottom, and the youngest layers are at the top. The law of inclusion states that any rock fragments that are included in another rock must be older than the rock in which they are included. Both laws help determine the relative ages of rock layers and their relationships to one another.
