How are the layers arranged in undisturbed sedimentary rocks?
Stratification
What kind of rock is made up of layers?
Sedimentary Rock is made up of layers of different rocks.
How can ingneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Molten Rock from with in earth can force its way up through the layers above it cooling and forming igneous rock.
Does igneous rock have visible layers?
no
A sheet of igneous rock that protrudes into the surrounding layers of rock?
It is called a dike.
How do geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed?
the way geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed is the rock layers are folded
How does a geoligist know that rock layers are undisturbed?
no because that's why I asked u
How are the layers of rock if they are undisturbed?
The undisturbed rock layers are horizontal and in order of age from youngest nearest the surface to oldest at the bottom of the rock unit.
How does a geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed.?
When a rock is disturbed, it usually contains one of the following abnormalities:SlantingBendingFoldingCrackingMetamorphismor Nonconformities.If a rock layer contains none of these, then geologists classify it as undisturbed.

What is based on the idea that younger rock layers are deposited on top of older rock layers in undisturbed areas?
The answer is: Relative dating
Younger layers of undisturbed sedimentary rock are above older layers according to?
the principal of sedimentarianism
The statement that old rocks are on the bottom in layers of undisturbed rock is called?
principle of superposition
What rock layer is the youngest?
The principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence of rock layers, the youngest will be at the top, the oldest at the bottom.
When principle states that the oldest rock layer is found at the bottom in an undisturbed stack of rock layers?
It is called Superposition.
How do you determine the order of rock layers?
The chronological order of rock layers is usually determined by their order in an undisturbed sequence of strata. According to the principle of superposition, the oldest layers would be found at the bottom and the youngest layers at the top. In disturbed rock layers (those that have been folded, uplifted, or generally disrupted by tectonic forces), the determination must be made based on the presence of index fossils, comparison to undisturbed strata or radiometric dating.
What is the oldest sedimentary rock?
In an undisturbed strata, the oldest layers are at the bottom. It's called the law or principle of superposition.
