Question

Correlation involves identifying and matching rocks of similar ages in different areas. Superposition is the principle that in a sequence of layered rocks, each layer is younger than the one below it. Horizontality is the principle that sedimentary rocks are deposited in flat layers. Succession refers to the order of geological events and the relative ages of rocks.
