Why is putting rock layers in order by age useful to geologist?

Geography

iVinArrow [24]3 years ago

Rock layers in order is basically natures calendar.

The highest layer is the newest formed layer 
While the deepest layer was the oldest and probably has been there from some time
And everything in between goes accordingly

So putting rocks in order by age helps scientists better understand what was there before what and how the rocks changed over time.

Hope this helps!

List 3 countries with petroleum and 3 countries with gold​
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

3 Countries with Petroleum

<em>1. Iran</em>

<em>2. Iraq</em>

<em>3. Kuwait</em>

3 Countries with Gold

<em>1. China</em>

<em>2. Russia</em>

<em>3. Australia</em>

Explanation:

1. Iraq's petroleum industry is very important for its economy. Before its <em>international embargo,</em> it became a major exporter of crude oil.

2. Iran has one of the largest petroleum reserves in the world. Just like Iraq, it also became a major exporter of crude oil. However, due to wars and sanctions, export revenue declined.

3. Kuwait is a tiny country that is <em>rich in oil.</em> It's largest industry is<em> "petroleum industry," </em>and it is owned by the government.

4. China is considered to be the<em> largest gold-producer in the world</em>. Although it only has a few gold reserves, many people are into <em>gold-mining.</em>

5. Next to China is Russia. It is second when it comes to the accumulation of gold, yet it is only in<em> 6th position</em> when it comes to gold reserve.

6. Australia is perceived to overtake China's position in the coming years as the largest producer of gold in the world. This is because of Australia's<em> cost-effective mining </em>and<u> plans for major expansion.</u>
