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.

Can people travel through the Khyber pass by rail
arsen [322]

No, the Khyber Pass has been closed for passenger travelling.

Khyber Pass, often called Khaybar or Khaibar, is a mountain range that separates the Pakistani state of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from the Afghan province of Nangarhar.

The pass links Peshawar, Pakistan, and Kabul and the city of Afghanistan. The range that the pass passes is sometimes referred to as the Khyber Range; it is made up of a number of dry broken hills that are the last outgrowths of the Spn Ghar (Pashto: "White Mountains") Range.

The route reaches the Khyber Hills at its southernmost point from the Shadi Bagiar gap, a few miles to the west of Jamrud, Pakistan. From there, it travels northwest for another 33 miles (53 km), to the town of Torkham, where the Afghan border is located.

The sparse Lowyah Dakkah plain of Afghanistan, which reaches north to the Kabul River, is reached after Torkham by way of a valley.
