Question

Which of the following could NOT be determined from using the law of superposition?

Answer 1

Answer:

C) That a sedimentary layer is 100 million years old

Answer 2

Answer:

C, that a sedimentary layer is 100 million years old.

Explanation:

The law of superposition functions without regard to exact times, basing its times relative to the layer above or below it. Without the age of a specific layer being giver in advance, you will not be able to determine the specific age of the layer being examined, only a relative age.
