Question

What evidence for the age of the Earth is indicated by the fact that sedimentary rock is found on mountain tops? that the Earth has expanded outward from water beds that mountains formed first before anything else that some force lifted the rocks from the water The Earth is not very old and has not had time for many rock layers to form

Answer 1

C, Some force lifted rocks from the water.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - That some force lifted the rocks from the water.

The fact that there's sedimentary rocks on the tops of the mountains is an evidence that there has been some force that managed to lift upwards parts of the seafloor. Taking into consideration how slowly this force manages to lift up parts of the Earth, we can easily assume that the Earth is very old. The amount of time that is needed for a part of the seafloor to be lifted few thousand meters upwards is counted in tens of millions of years, thus giving us evidence that the Earth has been around for a very long time.
