The correct answer is - The Principle of Superposition.


The Principle of Superposition suggests that the newest rocks are on the top while the oldest rocks on the bottom of the layers, or with other words, the new rocks are always deposited on top of the older layers, thus making a horizontal type of layers in proper order from the oldest to the youngest layers as we go from the bottom to the top. By this principle, it comes as the lava flows or the deposited sediments are covering the layers that are already in place and are naturally ordering themselves by age.

Answer:

Principle of Superposition.

Explanation:

The superposition principle is the geological principle that affirms the existence of soil sedimentation, or over time. This sedimentation allows the deposition of strata in chronological order on top of layers of soil or rocks, creating more layers. As this process is chronological, it is possible to notice that the deeper layers are older layers in relation to the newer layers, which were deposited more recently.

How are rocks DIFFERENT from minerals? A) Rocks are a pure substance and minerals are all mixtures. B) Rocks have no physical or
Elena L [17]

The answer is C) Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, but minerals are not made up of rocks.

Let's look into the options one by one:

A) Rocks are a pure substance and minerals are all mixtures.

-This is false.

-The fact is the exact opposite, where rocks are mixtures of minerals while minerals are pure substance. For example, granite, a type of rock, is composed of quartz, mica and feldspar.

B) Rocks have no physical or chemical properties similar to minerals.

-This is false.

-As rocks are formed by different types of minerals, often can you find the properties of rocks similar to minerals especially when one mineral component is high.

C) Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, but minerals are not made up of rocks.

-This is correct.

-Most of the rocks are made up of more than one type of minerals given the minerals are mixed together or produced during different formation. We can therefore see that minerals are not made up of rocks but a component of rocks.

For example, the granite mentioned from above is formed when intrusive volcanicity occurs, when the magma cools down, more than a type of minerals are formed, putting together forming granite.

D) Minerals are made up of at least two rocks, but rocks are not made up of minerals.

-This is false.

-As from above, minerals are not made up of rocks, while rocks are made up of minerals.

Therefore the answer is C) Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, but minerals are not made up of rocks.
