E)law of retrogression

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement in question is a summary of the Law of Superposition, which states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rock layers, each layer is younger than the layer beneath it and older than the layer above it. The Law of Original Continuity and Law of Original Horizontality describe the way that sedimentary layers are initially deposited, and the Law of Cosines is a mathematical formula used in trigonometry. The Law of Retrogression is not a recognized geological principle.
