Question

How do the law of Superposition and geologic timescale support the Theory of Evolution?

Answer 1

Superposition and geologic timescale support the theory because of the changes in features in index fossils of diverse periods are presumed to be caused by evolution, and the existence of different organisms in different periods is then used to support biological evolution. 

Answer 2

Answer:

• The law of superposition clearly states that in any uninterrupted concatenation of rocks, the bottom-most layer is the oldest.

• By observing the ascending layers of fossils, the archaeologists can determine how the evolution took place. The geological timescale works on the same principle.

Explanation:

• The law of superposition helps the archaeologists in determining the order in which the evolutionary events may have occurred.

• The geological timescale is a method applied to determine when in the history of time must have an event occurred. Thus both, the law of superposition and geological timescale support the theory of evolution in a similar way.
