The correct answer is - A. Fossils in upper layers were younger than fossils in lower layers.

The scientists managed to determine that the rock layers of the mountains and the canyons are arranged by time, and that they are a nice representation of the geological past. Because the scientists proposed this, that also means that the rock layers are undisturbed by geological process, thus they are arranged by age, one over the other, with the oldest being at the bottom, and the youngest at the top.

When it comes to the fossils, this meant that now the scientists can now the approximate age of the fossils, depending on the layer in which the fossils are found. So the closer they are found to the surface, the younger they are, and the deeper they found, the older they, the same as the rock layers.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the time of the lowest temperature.

Explanation:

Relative humidity simply talks about the ratio of the quantity of water the air contains at any given time, to the highest quantity of water the air could ever have. So when the water vapor content in air remains constant while the temperature falls, then the relative humidity tends to increase. This phenomenon usually takes place in the morning when the sun is yet to come out and the temperature is usually cooler. When sun peaks, afternoon sets in, the relative humidity then reduces.
