Answer:

1.  The top most layer of rock is the youngest

2.  By using Rule of Superposition, one can know which of the rock layer is the youngest.

Explanation:

Based on principle of superposition which explains that in a relative dating and undeformed stratigraphic sequences, the oldest strata is at the bottom of the sequence.

In other words, the stratigraphic dating suggests that the law of superposition is reliable, as an object cannot be older than the materials of which it is composed.

Hence, the oldest sedimentary rock units are considered to be at the bottom, and the youngest are at the top.

Why did stalin want britain and the united states to open a second front in france prior to 1944?
True [87]
Stalin wanted the US and Great Britain to open a second front in France because it would divide the German military. During the time of this statement, Germany's only real military threat came from the Soviet Union. With this in mind, Hitler had the ability to put a huge number of troops on the Soviet Union/German border.

However, if the US and Great Britain planned an invasion through France, that means Hitler would have to move hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, of troops to France. France, in relation to the Soviet Union, was over 1,000 miles away.

Forcing Germany to fight this two front war would decrease their chance of success.
