Examine the following diagram. Place the labeled layers in order from oldest to youngest.

Diagram showing a section of rock strata. The bottommost layer is labeled 'A'; the layer directly on top of layer A is labeled 'B'; the layer directly on top of layer B is labeled 'D'; a narrow section of rock, labeled 'C,' extends from A through B and D and culminates in a volcano.

A, B, D, C

Explanation:

According to the Law of Superposition, the bottom layer is generally the oldest layer of rock. Therefore, fossils found in the lower strata are older in relation to fossils found in higher rock layers.

As you can see in the picture provided (from question), we can see that Location A is located lower than C, B, or D, making it the oldest layer of rock. Then comes layer B, beating C by a very little amount, thenlocation D! This indicates that layer B is older than C, but younger than A, and layer C is older than D but younger than B.

However, this is not true! A and B are clearly the oldest ones, but since C is being transferred from above D, C is actually younger than layer D!

So, the answer to this question is :

                                                      A, B, D, C

Have a great day!
