. Figure This picture shows a road cut with 3 rock layers. The top and bottom layers are metamorphic, while the middle layer is a coarse-grained igneous rock that intruded. Examine the diagram and the caption to the left. Layers A, B and C are labeled. 1) Which layer is the youngest? 2) layer is the oldest? 3) Which above helped you to determine this? (include all that are “laws” appropriate to this answer). 4. How do unconformities make it difficult to determine ages in rock layers? 5. In #1, how would your sequence change if radioactive dating measurements show that the bottom two rock layers are “overturned?”
