Question

Do you think that these layers of rocks could shift, which would cause the

lower layers to transpose and be at the top of the original upper layer? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Layered rocks form when particles settle from water or air. Steno's Law of Original Horizontality states that most sediments, when originally formed, were laid down horizontally. ... Rock layers are also called strata (the plural form of the Latin word stratum), and stratigraphy is the science of strata.

Answer 2

Answer:

While debris settles from water or the air, layered rocks form. According to steno's rule of unique horizontality, most sediments are no longer horizontal even if they were initially formed to be laid down horizontally.

Explanation:

• The oldest rock layer is the bottom layer, followed by the youngest rock and the second-oldest rock layer.
• The youngest rock stratum is found closest to the earth (formed most recently).
• The oldest sedimentary rock units are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top, according to the principle of superposition.
• Rocks that are sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic are created layer by layer as a result of physical processes including melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming.
• While debris settles from water or the air, layered rocks form. According to steno's rule of unique horizontality, most sediments are no longer horizontal even if they were initially formed to be laid down horizontally.
