15 Rock Dating Rule of Superposition – Older rock layers on bottom. Rule of intrusion-the intrusion is younger than the rock layer it is intruding upon. Rule of faulting- a fault is younger than the rocks that have been broken in the fault. Order of rock layers oldest to youngest: 5,4,3,2,6,1

16 Put the rocks in order by age. Oldest to youngest

17 Put the rocks in order by age. Oldest to youngest: D,C, A,B

18 Write the names of the rock layers in order oldest to youngest

19 Rock layers in order oldest to youngest: A,C,D,B
