go on Google and look for the answer because i don't know it either
What else can I help you with?
How can you use fossils and geologic features interpret the relative age of rock layers?
Fossils can be used to determine the relative age of rock layers by comparing the types of fossils found in different layers. Fossils of organisms that existed for a short period of time can be used to date layers of rock containing them. Geologic features such as fault lines and unconformities can also help determine the relative age of rock layers by showing where layers have been disturbed or eroded.
How can you find the age of a layer of a rock that is surrounded by layers of volcanic ash?
You can find the age of the rock layer by using radiometric dating methods on the volcanic ash layers above and below it. By dating the layers surrounding the rock layer, you can determine the relative age of the rock.
Why are index fossils useful for figure out the age of a set of disturbed rock layers?
index fossils are useful for figuring out the age of a set of disturbed rock layers by index fossils are used to determine when rock layers were formed so if they were used to figure out the age of a set of disturbed rock layers than they can also figure out when they were formed .
What are relative fossils?
Answer: The age of a rock compared to the ages of the rock layers.
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.
How are the layers of rock if they are undisturbed?
The undisturbed rock layers are horizontal and in order of age from youngest nearest the surface to oldest at the bottom of the rock unit.
A rock's position within rock layers can tell its?
relative age compared to other rocks in the layers. Over time, sedimentary layers form on top of older layers, with the youngest layer at the top and the oldest at the bottom. By examining a rock's position within these layers, geologists can determine its relative age based on the principle of superposition.
What is the The age of an intrusion of igneous rock in relation to the sedimentary rock layers through which it passes?
It is younger.
How do sedimentary rock layers provide clues to a fossil age?
because fossils are in sedimentary rock
What is the age of an intrusion of igneous rock in relation to the sedimentary rock layers through which it passed?
It is younger.
The age of a rock compared to the age of other layer is called?
The age of a rock compared to the age of other layers is called relative dating. This method helps geologists determine the sequence of events that occurred over time by comparing the ages of different rock layers.
How the relative age of a fossil is determined by studying layers of rock?
It is determined because in layers of rocks the fossils are found so the layers of rocks give information to the scientist about the age of a fossil so like that the relative age of a fossil is determined.
