The principle stating that the oldest rocks occur on the bottom of an undisturbed rock sequence is known as?

a. relative age dating

b. superposition

c. original juxtaposition

d. original parallelism

The correct answer is option B, that is, superposition.

Explanation:

The law of superposition refers to a fundamental law of geochronology, which states that in any unperturbed arrangement of rocks placed in layers, the oldest one comes on the bottom, while the newest layer is present on the top. Each layer is younger in comparison to the one underneath it and of age in comparison to the one found above it.  

The formation of sedimentary rocks takes place due to the gathering of layers in different environments like lakes, seafloor, or desert. The sediments ultimately consolidate to give rise to the layers of rocks. Usually, the lowest layers are older in comparison to the upper layers.  

However, there are some circumstances, where the law of superposition does not apply like when the sequences of rock are pushed over by faulting and folding, or when the molten magma intrudes the rocks present underneath. Paleontologists use the law of superposition to find the order in time when the fossils are found within the layers of rocks.  

if your own plato the answer is b. the fern transitioned from sporophyte generation to gametophyte generation.
