                          1. Sequence of sedimentary rocks which form an intrusion over it with more sediments

                            1. A solid, liquid or gaseous foriegn body enclosed in a mineral or rock
                            2. Faults

                                  1. Where rocks rubb against eachother up and down and away from eachother
                                  2. Reverse Faults
                                    1. Rubbed against each other diagonally
                                3. 7 Principles of Geology
                                  1. 1- Principle of Uniformitarianism
                                    1. Geological processes which have modified the crust now have woked in the same way over geological time
                                    2. 2-Principle of Intrusive relationships
                                      1. When an igneous rocks cuts into a formation of sedimentary rocks it (intrusion)can be determined that the intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rocks
                                      2. 3- Principle of cross cutting relationships
                                        1. Faults are younger than the rocks they cut
                                        2. 4- Principle of inclusion and components
                                          1. If Sedimentary inclusions are found in a formation it must be older than the formation that contains them
                                          2. 5- Principle of original horizontality
                                            1. States that deposition of sediments occour as horizontal beds
                                            2. 6- The principle of superposition
                                              1. States that a sedimentary layer of rock, in a tectonically undisturbed area is younger than the one beneath it
                                              2. 7- The principle of faunal succession
                                                1. Is based on the appearance of fossils in a sedimentary rocks, this can provide a relative age for the formation
                                              3. Folding
                                                1. Anticline
                                                  1. Rock folded up
                                                  2. Sincline
                                                    1. Rock folded down
