Question
Hey guys,
I can please get some help with this questions? Thank you.
The principle of stratigraphic superposition states what?
Intrusions that disturb a sequence of strata must be younger that the strata it disturbed.
Each sedimentary layer is younger than the one beneath it, such that the oldest is at the bottom, and youngest is at the top in an undisturbed vertical sequence of strata.
Sedimentary layers originally deposit in horizontal layers
A sedimentary unit that has inclusions of an adjacent rock unit must be younger that the rock unit from which the inclusions came from.
All depositional units ultimately thin out laterally
