Answer:

By looking at similarities like the composition, sequences and Index Fossils if present

Explanation:

To correctly match a certain Rock layer with another the geologist use different methods to find the similarities of a rock layer in an outcrop between them. The first step is to determine the characteristics of the rock layers, and the sequence, depending on the types of rock and their shape, for example, a rock layer can be a Gneiss, Basalt, Sandstone, etc.

In case Index Fossils are found the geologist correlates them with a certain geology period, For example, a trilobite would be related to a Devonian Period.

With these data, the geologist compares the structure and similar formations characteristics found in outcrops and the possible Age of the rock layers with the Index fossils.

densk [106]

In this question, we are not provided with the image of the dinosaur track. Because of this, we are unable to tell whether this specific track is right-side up or upside-down. However, we can give you some guidance so that you can identify this on your own.

In general, in this type of prints, mud cracks extend downward into soft sediment. These cracks mean that when more sediment is washed in, the second layer fills the cracks beneath. Afterwards, once the layers have hardened, the rock may be cracked apart. Based on this, we can conclude that if you see troughs in a mud-crack pattern, you re looking at the second layer, which was originally right-side up.
