A fault cuts across several layers of rock. Which conclusion can be made?(1 point) The fault is younger than the layers of rock, according to the law of inclusion.

The fault is older than the layers of rock, according to the law of inclusion.

The fault is younger than the layers of rock, according to the law of crosscutting.

The fault is older than the layers of rock, according to the law of crosscutting.

The fault is younger than the layers of rock, according to the law of crosscutting.

Explanation:

Then Law of Crosscutting which was described by James Hutton explains that whenever a fault is seen on a rock, the fault will always be younger than the rock it is one.

This makes sense because if there was no rock in the first place, the fault would not have cut through it. But because there was a rock and an object exacted a force in order to move through the rock, the fault appeared showing that the rock came first, then came the fault.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
