How did James Hutton use the principle from Part 1 to imply that Earth is very old?
Hutton deduced that not all geologic features formed at the same time, so the Earth must have a history that includes
a succession of slow events, indicating the Earth existed for a long time before humans.
Rates of most geologic processes taking place today are slow, so Hutton deduced that the development of individual
geologic features takes a very long time.
Considering the principle of original horizontality, is the bedding in this photo in its original orientation?
no
Using the same photo, label the oldest bed and youngest bed.
