When you know the relative age of a fossil what else do you know about it?
the relative age of the rock where it was found.
How can you use fossils and geologic features interpret the relative age of rock layers?
Geologists use carbon-14 to interpret the relative age of rock layers
What is the Specific age of a rock or fossil?
absolute age
Why can relative dating be used only to estimate the age of a fossil?
by comparing its placement with that of fossils in other layers of rock
Is it true that Stratigraphy is a method to determine the relative age of rock strata?
Yes, stratigraphy is a method to determine the relative age of rock strata. Stratigraphy is a branch of geology which studies rock layers.
What does relative age indicates?
relative age means the process of determining the age of rock layers based on their relationship to each other.
What is the difference between the relative age and absolute age of rocks?
Relative age is the age of a rock relative to the rock layers around it, absolute age is a rock's exact age.
What is the definition of relative age?
The geologic age of fossil organisms, rock, or geologic features or events defined relative of each other.
What is the relative age of a fossil starfish?
the relative age of the rock where it was found.
The age of a rock compared with the age of other rocks?
What you are referring to is the relative age.
Kind of age that compares a rock with other rocks?
relative age
When you know the relative age of a fossil what else do you know about it?
the relative age of the rock where it was found.
What is the difference between relative and absolute age?
Relative age does not assign a number to an age, but is only used to say, for example, whether rock A is older than rock B. Absolute age actually assigns a number, for example "this shale is about 300 million years old."
What are relative fossils?
Answer: The age of a rock compared to the ages of the rock layers.
What is the difference of absolute age and relative age?
In the absolute age, the value will be exact and direct but in the relative age you will compare the rock with other feature.
What is the Specific age of a rock or fossil?
absolute age
How can you use fossils and geologic features interpret the relative age of rock layers?
Geologists use carbon-14 to interpret the relative age of rock layers
