Activity: Relation of Age of Rock Layers
Monday, October 4, 2010
Diagram 1: Undisturbed Rock Layers
-draw and color rock layer you made with your partner
- label which layer is the youngest and oldest
2. Why is igneous rock always younger than any rock it cuts through?
Diagram 2: Rock layers with Intrusion
3. How does the age of a fault compare to the ages of the rock layers passing through?
-insert black pen into the middle of the rock layers and then cut the rock in half at an angle
