Question

Using the location and depth of where a fossil is found to estimate age is called (4 points)

A radioactive dating

B the law of superposition

C Index fossils

D the geologic time

Answer 1

The answer would be B - the law os superpositin

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of superposition states that within a sequence of layers of sedimentary rock, the oldest layer is at the base and that the layers are progressively younger with ascending order in the sequence.

Hope this helped, good luck!

Answer 2

The answer is; B

The law states that in an undisturbed layer of crust, the top layers are younger than the deeper layers. This is because as sediments are deposited, such as in the oceans, newer sediments are usually deposited over the older sediments on the bed. This is a basic law of geochronology.
