The law that states that rock layers closest to the surface are the youngest rock is the law of original horizontality law of superposition law of original lateral continuity law of gravity and oppositional force law of cross-cutting relationships

The correct answer is B) law of superposition.

The law that states that rock layers closest to the surface are the youngest rock is the law of superposition.

One of the most important principles in Geology, the study of the rocks on planet Eart- is the Law of Superposition. It says that layers of rock that are at the very top are younger than the ones at the bottom. That is how geologists study the years of the rock and the era they belonged to. Other important geological laws studied by Geologists are the Law of Lateral Continuity and the Law of Original Horizontality.

i actually have a suggestion instead of an answer, how about next time instead of spending the time to time up the question you take that time and try to figure something out for yourself, do you understand?

explanation:

leave a 5 star and a and brainliest answer if you understand, hope this betters you day, or not i don't really care either way. xd
