Question

2 fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. not all answer choices will be used. the law of superposition allows geologists to determine the ages of rock layers. although it doesn’t tell us exactly how old the strata are, this law tells us rock layers form on top of ones. absolute relative older younger

Explanation:

1. The law of superposition is used to compare rock layer ages without exact numerical values, which is relative dating.
2. Absolute dating gives the exact age of strata, which the law of superposition does not provide.
3. The law of superposition states that new rock layers form on top of earlier, older layers.

Answer:

1. relative
2. absolute
3. older
