Law of Superposition

Mr. Anderson explains the law of superposition, which states that older rock layers are found below younger ones. He uses a locker analogy to illustrate this concept and discusses how it applies to solving geology problems. The video includes a drawing demonstration to visualize rock layers and geological events like faults, tilting, erosion, and intrusions. Finally, the application of these concepts is shown through a real-world example of a road cut.
