PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!! Which evidence would confirm that a given rock layer is newer than the layers around it? A. It has been crumpled and folded, while the other layers lie flat. B. Other layers have been deposited above it. C. It is horizontally-oriented. D. It cuts through all the other layers.
The upper layers, those that are closest to the surface of the Earth, are the newest layers to be laid down. Layers below are older. Since sedimentary rocks form on top of each other, it is very easy to see Earth's geologic history in areas where this type of rock is found.
