  2. 1. The diagram shows where rock was cut to make a highway. Look at the layers of rock. Which rock layer is the oldest?A. Layer AB. Layer BC. Layer DD. Layer E

  3. 2. The picture shows sedimentary rock that has not been disturbed. Which letter points to the newest layer of rock? A. Letter AB. Letter BC. Letter CD. Letter D

  4. 3. Which rock layer is the youngest? A. Layer AB. Layer BC. Layer CD. Layer D

  5. 4 The rock column above shows the layers in a rock formation. The three diagrams above show the positions of fossils in different rock layers. According to this information, which fossil is the youngest?F G H J 29 The rock column above shows the layers in a rock formation. The three diagrams above show the positions of fossils in different rock layers. According to this information, which fossil is the youngest?F G H J

  6. 5. Look at the drawing of a rock cut that was made for a new highway. What can you infer by studying these rock layers?A. The rock layer labeled A probably has dinosaurs' bones in it because it is the oldest rock layer. B. Rock layer B might be made of coal. C. The rock layers are all about the same age. D. An ocean must have once covered the area since rock layer C has seashells in it.

  7. 6. The diagram shows rock layers in which fossils have been buried. What conclusions can you make about the age of the leg bone compared to the age of the other fossils? A. The leg bone is in the lowest layer so it is youngest. B. The leg bone is in the lowest layer so it is older than the other fossils. C. The leg bone is likely the same age as all the other fossils. D. The leg bone is older than the skull, but the same age as the shell.
