Answer:
The idea that the oldest rock will always be the bottom layer of a series of rock layers is called the principle of superposition.
Explanation:
According to the law or principle of superposition, the sequence of layers of sedimentary rock go from the oldest, at the bottom, to the youngest, at the top. Sedimentary rock is formed when pieces of rock and even of living organisms - once they die, of course - are deposited on a surface. As time passes, new pieces are deposited on top of the older pieces. That process happens again and again until we have different layers of sedimentary rock, the first one being the oldest, that is, the one that was first deposited there.
The lines that run from the top to bottom through the North and South poles is called the Prime Meridian.

Explanation:
Japanese expansion in East Asia began in 1931 with the invasion of Manchuria and continued in 1937 with a brutal attack on China. On September 27, 1940, Japan signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy, thus entering the military alliance known as the "Axis." Seeking to curb Japanese aggression and force a withdrawal of Japanese forces from Manchuria and China, the United States imposed economic sanctions on Japan. Faced with severe shortages of oil and other natural resources and driven by the ambition to displace the United States as the dominant Pacific power, Japan decided to attack the United States and British forces in Asia and seize the resources of Southeast Asia. Japan launched a surprise attack on the United States Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. The attack severely damaged the American fleet and prevented, at least for the short term, serious American interference with Japanese military operations. In response, the United States declared war on Japan. Following Germany's declaration of war on the United States, the United States also declared war on Germany..
