The sentences below describe different techniques involved in relative dating. Complete the sentences using the following phrase

s. First, you can refresh your memory by revisiting the principles of relative dating:
Principle of superposition: When comparing two sedimentary rock layers, the bottom layer must be older than the layer above it. The logic is a lower layer must already exist for another layer to be deposited on it.
Principle of original horizontality: Sedimentary rocks were originally deposited as flat-lying, horizontal layers. If a layer is tilted, it must have moved.
Principle of cross-cutting relationships: Any rock or feature, cutting through another rock or feature, must be younger than the material through which it cuts.
Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.
a. the principle of crosscutting relationships
b. the principle of superposition
c. the principle of original horizontality
1. Applying indicates that layers were repositioned from a flat-lying orientation
2. Magma intrudes into layers of sedimentary rock and displaces them. We can deduce that the intruded magma that crystallizes is younger than the surrounding sedimentary layers by applying younger
3. While visiting the Grand Canyon, you are amazed by the depth of layers of sedimentary rock before you - is evident here where progressively younger layers have formed over time and are stacked upon each other older
4. A fault cuts through layers of limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate. The surrounding layers must be than the fault.
5. A mass of granite has inclusions of surrounding sandstone. The sandstone and surrounding layers show evidence of uplift over time. The granite must be than the sand deposits

Which of the following is evidence that our planet has plate tectonics?
borishaifa [10]
The appropriate answer is B. Chains of volcanoes along ocean coastlines. The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth's crust is divided into plates that float on the semi-molten mantle below. Plates can converge, diverge or slide past each other. Chains of volcanoes along coastlines are evidence of plates converging with one plate subducting beneath the other. The subducting plate will melt producing magma which is lighter than surrounding rock and so will force its way through cracks and fissures in the surface. Once magma reaches the earth's surface, volcanoes are formed.
