Question

Examine the layers of rock. How does layering provide evidence for determining geologic age?

Answer 1

the deeper you go down in to the rock the older the fossils get.

Step-by-step explanation:

layering can provide evidence because the deeper you go down in to the rock the older the fossils get. So when the scientists go in to the rock they can say what animals lived in that time and what animal was the oldest.

Answer 2

Well I can’t see the rocks but, to determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones.
