How is the Law of Faunal Succession from the fossil record related to principles of evolution, such as...?

Question

Punctuated equilibrium, adaptive radiation, and natural selection?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Faunal Succession has to do with a stat column (layers of rock obviously if layer A is above layer B, B and whatever fossils are in it is older, its called relative age dating. Punctuated evolution is just "fast" evolution usually a million yrs or less, so a rock record can show a fast change within a specie. same for the others rocks hold the story in order from the bottom to the top layer

just understand what a stratigraphic column is and what laws of superposition means
