What is FEDCBA?
100
The remains of an ancient organism found in sedimentary rock.
What is a fossil?
200
Mountains form at this type of boundary
What is a convergent plate boundary?
200
A principle of geology that states that the geologic feature which cuts another is the younger of the two features. It is a relative dating technique in geology. For example, an igneous intrusion is always younger than the rock it cuts into.
What is the law of cross cutting relationships
200
The method used to arrange geological events, and the rocks they leave behind, in a sequence.

What is DCBA?
200
A fossil known to have lived in a particular rock layer that can be used to date that rock layer
What is an index fossil?
300
A boundary where two plates collide and produces a continental collision
What is a convergent plate boundary?

What is the law that describes that sedimentary rocks are always deposited as horizontal or nearly horizontal layers called strata, although these may be distributed by later earth movements.
What is the law of original horizontality?
300
We use relative dating to arrange geological events.
Why do we use Relative dating

What is ABCDEFGHIJK?
300
A gap in the rock record representing a time which exposed rock eroded before new layers were deposited
What is a unconformity?
400
The boundary between two plates that are moving apart
What is a divergent plate boundary?
400
States that in an undistributed sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the youngest rocks will be at the top and the oldest will be at the bottom.

The law of superposition relates to rock layers by showing that the oldest rock layers are on the bottom and the youngest rock layers are on the top. True of False?
