8. Which sequence shows the names of eras from oldest to youngest? а. Precambrian-Mesozoic-Cenozoic-Paleozoic Precambrian - Paleozoic – Mesozoic - Cenozoic С. Mesozoic-Cenozoic-Paleozoic-Precambrian d. Precambrian-Cenozoic-Mesozoic-Paleozoic Principle of inclusion states The inclusion is younger than the hosting rock The oldest layer is at the bottom of the sequence of the а. b layers The inclusion is older than the hosting rock The faults are younger than the rock that they cut С. d. 10. Relative dating is determining the length of time since a rock formed age of rock in terms of numbering the years time span between geologic events chronological order (older/younger) of a sequence of а. b. С. d. events 11. The principle of superposition states that а. the youngest bed in a sedimentary sequence is at the bottom of the sequence b. the oldest bed in a sedimentary sequence is at the top of the sequence С. d. the rock inclusion is older than the hosting rock the younger rock is the more evolved organisms are recorded in fossils е. the oldest bed in a sedimentary sequence is at the bottom of the sequence 9.
