You would divide them into how the rocks were formed.Pumice, granite and basalt are all made from molten material that has since cooled. These rocks are calledigneous rocksthe other two are made up ofbits and piecesof other rock that have been cemented together. These are called clastic sedimentary rock.

The geologist will most likely take samples of the two lavas forming the igneous intrusions and use radiometric dating techniques to find their ages. He then would know that the age of the sedimentary rock was somewhere between the two. He may also look for (index) fossils within the sedimentary rock which may also give him an indication of the age of the sediment.

I use mine to identify minerals in rock samples.

A common task for a geologist in the oil field is to identify tailings for certain fossils and debris that would indicate promising oil and gas deposits. Also, when an archaeologist finds some artifact and wants to date it the geologist can identify other rock related formations to put a time line on it.

Radioactive dating of rock samples determines the age of rocks from the time it was formed. Geologist determine the age of rocks using radioactive dating. The radioactive dating relies on spontaneous decomposition into other element. The spontaneous decomposition is called radioactive decay.
A geologist could tell you what kind of rock that is. I am studying to become a geologist.
the way geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed is the rock layers are folded
