What part of the sedimentary of rock is the oldest?
Protolith is a term used to describe the parent rock of a metamorphic rock. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that can be composed of clasts of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks, or any number of combinations of all.
What is the oldest rock in earth?
Igneous Rock
Do the oldest rocks on earth contain fossils?
No, the oldest rocks on Earth are estimated to be about 4 billion years old and do not contain fossils. Fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks that formed later, where the remains of plants and animals were preserved.
What can you determine from undistributed rock layers and Where would you find the oldest and youngest rock?
Undistributed rock layers may indicate that the layers have not been disturbed or deformed from their original horizontal positions. The oldest rock layers are typically found at the bottom of a sequence, while the youngest rock layers are found at the top, following the principle of superposition in geology.
What feature on the ocean floor would you most likely find the oldest seafloor?
You would most likely find the oldest seafloor in the deepest parts of the ocean, specifically in the abyssal plains. The seafloor in these regions is oldest because it is farthest away from the mid-ocean ridges where new seafloor is constantly being created through seafloor spreading.
What trench produces the oldest rock?
YellowKnife Trench
Where would you expect to find the oldest rock on the oldest floor?
Somewhere at the bottom of the Marianas Trench you would find the oldest rock of the oceanic crust. Somewhere else, however, there are older rocks on the ocean floor--those deposited by icebergs that have broken off of glaciers. Those erratic rocks could be much older than the oldest oceanic crust.

Protolith is a term used to describe the parent rock of a metamorphic rock. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that can be composed of clasts of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic rocks, or any number of combinations of all.

If somebody threw a rock from the top of Mt Everest to the Marianas Trench how many feet would the rock fall?
:.)
Are the japan trench and the Mariana trench the same?
No, they are diffrent Marianas trench is a Canadian punk rock band in vancover BC
How would you know which is the oldest layer in a rock?
You would know because the youngest rock layer is always on the top, and the oldest is always at the bottom of the canyon.
How would you know which rock layer in a canyon is the oldest?
The oldest rock layer in a canyon is typically the layer found at the bottom. This is because new layers of rock are deposited on top of older layers over time, resulting in a sequence with the oldest rocks located at the base of the canyon. Geologists use principles of stratigraphy, such as the Law of Superposition, to determine the relative ages of rock layers in a canyon.

What is the oldest rock in earth?
Igneous Rock
How can you use slab and ocean trench in the same sentence?
As my submarine descended into the ocean trench, we passed by a slab of rock.
Where would the oldest fossils be found in the rock layers?
The furthest down of all top layers.
