Which of the following are methods of relative aging of rocks? Select the three correct answers.(2 points) Responses angular relationships angular relationships original horizontality original horizontality superposition superposition cross-cutting relationships cross-cutting relationships radiometric dating radiometric dating original angularity

Answer 1

The three methods of relative aging of rocks are:

1. Superposition - In a sequence of undisturbed sedimentary rocks, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top.
2. Original Horizontality - Layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally. If the layers are tilted or folded, this indicates they have been disturbed after their deposition.
3. Cross-Cutting Relationships - Geologic features (like faults or igneous intrusions) that cut through other rocks are younger than the rocks they cut.

So, the correct answers are:

• Superposition
• Original Horizontality
• Cross-Cutting Relationships
