limitation of relative dating is simply your personal limit to how much pussie or dick you can take. ;D

The process that places geologic events in proper time sequence is referred to as?
relative dating
How do you determine the sequence of events in rock layers?
By the law of superposition: Oldest at the bottom and youngest at the top.
What are the key principals of relative dating?
Choose a relative no closer than second cousin. Other than that it's like normal dating.
How do you tell how old a fossil is by the rock layer?
by relative dating or radiometric dating
Why are sedimentary rocks important to relative dating?
because relative dating gets a really close estimate of how old sedimentary rock is.(the layer of course!)
How does relative dating show the geologic history of a region?
how does relative dating show the history of a region
What are two ways geologists determine the age of fossils?
The two methods are "RELATIVE DATING" and "ABSOLUTE DATING". :)
The process that places geologic events in proper time sequence is referred to as?
relative dating
Do geologists use the relative dating method on earth?
Yes, Geologists use the relative dating metod on earth.
What information is providedv by absolute that cannot be provided by relative dating?

Relative dating of artifacts?
Seriation
Does radioactive dating tell the relative age of rocks?
No. Radioactive dating is an absolute dating tool.
What is relitave dating?
relative dating is when you give an estimate date.
How is relative dating more accurate?
Relative dating is not more accurate than absolute dating. Relative dating will, if done properly, give you an order sequence in time but it will not return any information about when something happened unless there is other information that can be used to establish a time frame.
How does relative dating and absolute dating help scientists assemble a fossil record for an area?
Relative dating is the science determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age Absolute dating is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology.
How do you determine the sequence of events in rock layers?
By the law of superposition: Oldest at the bottom and youngest at the top.
