the idea that younger rock layers are deposited on top of older rock layers in an undisturbed section of sedimentary rock can best be explained by which of steno's principles? a. principle of superpositionb. principle of original horizontalityc. principle of original lateral continuityd. principle of faunal succession

Option (A)

Explanation:

The law of Superposition was introduced by Nicolas Steno in the 17th century. According to this law, in an undisturbed sedimentary rock layers or sequence, the rocks that are found at its base are the oldest rocks and the rocks that are found at the apex indicates the youngest rocks.

In nature, all sedimentary sequences do not satisfy this principle, because sometimes, some sedimentary sequences are affected by several factors such as the plate tectonic activity, earthquake, and faulting.

The Steno's principles were a huge contribution to the field of geology.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). the change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. i hoped i !

i believe it is c: genes for body color and wing size are inherited separately from each parent.
