what geologic term or phrase explains why the top of the stratum in a section of rock is the youngest

Geography
1 answer:
Katen [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

superposition

Explanation:

The geologic term or principle that explains why the top of the stratum in a section of rock is the youngest is the word superposition.

This term is derived from the principle of superposition of strata which states that "in an undeformed sequence of strata, the oldest bed is at the bottom and the youngest is at the top".

Sedimentary rocks succeed on another in a determined way.

  • When we use the term superposition, we simply imply that the beds are stacked over another.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

For instance, I-24 is a primary highway that runs east/west.

Explanation:

Based on information provided by the question, all numbers equal or below 99 are primary highways. If an even number, then it should run from east to west. If the primary highway is an odd number, it means that it runs from north to south. If the number is between 100 - 999, it is an auxiliary highway and the last two digits correspond to the primary highway that it serves.
