English term or phrase: buckling of the Earth’s surface
Generally, the way sedimentary rocks are dated is to consider some key fossils they contain. These are called ‘index fossils’. The assumption of gradual deposition is made on the basis that the oldest rock is generally at the bottom (Cambrian) and recent rock is near the top (Quaternary). Because of ***buckling of the Earth’s surface*** the rocks are not always in the same order, but the index fossils are used to identify the various rock layers.
