The law of superposition helps scientists determine the relative age of a layer of sedimentary rock. the law of superposition is <span>a basic </span>law<span> of geochronology, stating that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks deposited in layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest on bottom, each layer being younger than the one beneath it and older than the one above it</span> .

A student asks the following question:
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

  Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects <em>can</em> be measured.
