Step-by-step explanation:
A. Erosion of rock
D. Sediments are distributed by river to a new location
B. Particles settle out and form layers
E. Fossils form as living things are trapped in the layers
C. Humans analyze formations to determine the age of rock
The steps given are keys which ensures we understand how sediments form sequentially in basin of deposition. Coupled with this, we are shown a peep into the world of fossilization.
- Any form of rock is first eroded before they are transported to their basins of deposition.
- In the basin, the particles settle out and form layers.
- The fossils trapped in them also settles out.
- The sediments gets compacted to sedimentary rocks.
- This sequence is therefore analyzed to determine the age of a rock.
