Cairo is fan-shaped, narrowest in the south, where the river valley is wedged between desert escarpments, and widest in the north, where the valley blends into the delta. Over the centuries the city expanded westward, as a receding river channel left land flood-free. Lining the banks of the Nile River, Cairo is a fusion of ancient. Churches are built atop Roman ruins and skyscrapers rise behind medieval monuments. Egypt's capital is best known for preserving the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but the city contains infinite treasures beyond the Pyramids of Giza.

<u>Answer:</u>
All of the above mentioned options can be used by scientists to date the sediment layer they are found in.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Rock fossils, animal fossils, etc.found in the sediment layer can be used to determine the age of the sediment based on the period of the existence of that animal or the period of formation of the rock.
- Tree rings clearly exhibit the age of the tree. Hence, a sediment layer with the evidence of tree rings can tell the age of the sediment layer.
- An amalgamation of the data obtained from the animal growth rings and the period of existence of that specific animal species can be used to calculate the age of the sediment.
- The intensity of radioactivity left in the isotopes clarifies how old the isotope is.
- The age of mineral elements can be determined exactly with the help of processes like Potassium-Argon dating, Uranium-Lead dating, etc.
- Thus it would be easy to determine the age of the sediment layer containing mineral elements.
