What are two kinds of information that scientists attempt to infer from the study of fossils?
Relative age of the rocks and the Paleo environment.
What fault can be useful in determining which of the following for a group of rocks?
the answer is procces of breaking down rock into smaller and smaller sediments
Are there any fossils in sedimentary rocks?
Yes all fossils occur in sedimentary rocks or rocks that began as sedimentary rocks.
Would fossils of species that did not change noticeably over time be useful in determining the relative ages of rocks?
In order to be useful in determining the relative ages of rocks, an indicator must provide different indications for rocks of different ages, right? So how could something which doesn't change over time be useful?
A fault can be useful in determining which group of rocks?
relative age
Can fossils be used to determine the relative ages of rocks layers?
fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layer by using the classification of fossils to find the relative ages of rocks in which fossils are found. :] hoped i helped you out.
What is examined to do relative dating?
The position of fossils in sedimentary rock layers.
Measurements of half-life make radioactive isotopes useful for?
They're useful for x-rays or looking at metals,or determining the age of rocks/fossils. (Hope it helped!😁)

Determining the order of events and the relative age of rocks by examining the position of rocks in a sequence is called?
relative dating.Relative dating is used to determine the relative age of rocks.
What fossils are most useful for correlation tend to be?
Fossils that are the most useful for correlation tend to be found in various types of rocks, are widespread, and easy to recognize. One rock type where fossils are found is sedimentary rocks.
How can scientists determine the relative age of rocks and fossils an area?
nunya
How can fossills be used to determine the relative ages of rock layers?
fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layer by using the classification of fossils to find the relative ages of rocks in which fossils are found. :] hoped i helped you out.
Which is an example of relative dating?
One example of relative dating is studying the layers of rock in a particular area. By analyzing the sequence of rock layers and the fossils within them, scientists can determine the relative ages of the rocks and the fossils they contain.
How is earths geolgic history determined?
it is determined by studying the relative and absolute ages of rocks and fossils
