    The document is a worksheet for students containing questions about the relative ages of rock layers based on the law of superposition. It asks the student to identify which layer is oldest according to the law of superposition, whether an igneous rock layer is older or younger than the surrounding sedimentary layers, the youngest rock layer, and which sedimentary layer is older based on their positions. It also asks the student to identify the geological principle represented by an igneous rock layer cutting through other layers.
