Superpoistion and Crosscutting

           Have you ever heard of or went to the Grand Canyon? If not, the Grand Canyon is a place where there is a lot of rocks and huge mountains  The Grand Canyon is a pretty hot place. This blog is about how the Grand Canyon demonstrates superposition and crosscutting. The Grand Canyon demonstrates this very well, because of how old it is. If you were to take the Grand Canyon apart layer by layer, you would know by looking which layers are the oldest. In some cases, you can tell how old the item was by looking at how many layers it has. Superposition means that the rocks were put there naturally. Crosscutting is a fancy word that means cutting through the rocks.

           I hope that you learned two new vocabulary words, and there meaning. It is easy to remember crosscutting, because the word cross and cutting really give it away.
