The principle of superposition: Question 12 options: A) does not work with volcanic rock. B) predicts that all strata should be of the same thickness. C) predicts that thicker strata are usually younger. D) is none of the above.

When a rock is mechanically weathered, the surface area of the rock is increased, which allows a greater amount of chemical weathering to occur. the surface area of the rock is increased, which hinders chemical weathering. the volume of the rock is decreased, which hinders chemical weathering. the volume of the rock is increased, which allows a greater amount of chemical weathering to occur. the surface area of the rock is decreased, which allows a greater amount of chemical weathering to occur
