Daily Question:
Which rock layer is the oldest? Why?

2. Stratigraphy Vocab
stratigraphy: a branch of geology which studies sedimentary rock layers.
relative dating: the science of determining the order of past events.
outcrop: a visible exposure of ancient rock.
strata: layers of rock (“stratum” is singular, “strata” is plural)
Principle of Uniformitarianism: Rock layers form in a uniform, logical order. Oldest at the bottom, youngest at the top.

3. This is also an outcrop of strata.

4. Another Outcrop

5. Yet Another Outcrop
