The IslandWood fault provides a unique opportunity to learn the basic geologic principle of Superposition -- the older rock is always on the bottom, and the younger rock is always on top, unless an earthquake occurs to change the position. In the IslandWood fault the bedrock (oldest rock) has been uplifted over the glacial till (younger rocks). | |||||||||
