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.

Which of the following statements about the government and society of the United Arab Emirates is false?
liberstina [14]
A. The law includes the presumption of innocence and the freedom of speech and religion. The UAE constitution is influenced from Sharia law and though the freedom to exercise one's religion is generally tolerable, any criticism of the government, royal family, police and/or authority will be severely punished, making freedom of speech highly regulated in the country. Gender equality is also emphasized and women are allowed to serve in higher positions of government along with their male counterparts.
