Question

The picture shows a view of rock layers at Earth’s surface. The dashed lines connect points of the same age. Major fossils contained within each rock layer are shown. The valleys are labelled X,Y, and Z.







The sedimentary rock layers at the three locations can be most accurately correlated (shown to be the same age) by comparing the :


A.
Thickness of the sedimentary rock layers
B.
Layered bands in the metamorphic basement rocks.
C.
Fossils in the sedimentary rocks
D.
Minerals in the igneous rocks

Answer 1

Answer:

Layered bands in the metamorphic basement rocks its c

Explaation:

Answer 2

The sedimentary rock layers are shown of the same ages in the figure. They are most accurately correlated by comparing the Fossils in the sedimentary rocks, which is in option C.

What are sedimentary rocks?

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place.

The fossils found at all three locations are same and also in the figure it is shown that all the Sedimentary rocks of three locations are of same age.

Thus option C is true that  by comparing the fossils in the sedimentary rocks it proved that the rocks are accurately correlated.
