Answer to Question 1

horizontal strata. Such tilting does not occur in the production of a disconformity.



Answer to Question 2

Inclusions or fragments of one rock contained within a layer of another are older than the rock layer
itself.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
