What else can I help you with?
What do paleontologists do to determine the actual age of rocks?
Paleontologists use carbon dating to determine the age of rocks.
What can you infer about the age of rocks as compared to humans?
relative age
What is chronostratigraphic?
The study of the age of rocks.
How can a rocks exact age be determined?
Me
How does the age of a fault compare to the age of the rocks that are actually faulted?
The fault will be younger than the rocks it faulted (cross-cutting relationships).
How were houses made in the Neolithic age?
with rocks...
What is the relationship between rocks and the Stone Age?
The Stone Age is the period when people used tools (hammers, arrow heads, etc.)made from rocks.
Kind of age that compares a rock with other rocks?
relative age
How was the age of rocks in ocean basins determined?
The age of rocks in ocean basins was determined through radiometric dating of volcanic rocks, which provides the absolute age of the rocks. Analyzing the magnetic properties of the rocks and the orientation of magnetic minerals helped in dating the rocks based on changes in Earth's magnetic field over time. Additionally, studying the distribution of fossils in the rocks provided relative dating information based on the known ages of the fossils.
What happens to rocks when you get further away from the mid ocean ridges pertaining to age?
Age increases as we move further away from the MOR. Oldest rocks being of age 200 million years.
What can be used to date fossils in rocks to give an approximate age?
The study of strata is called stratigraphy. Stratigraphy can be used to determine an approximate age of fossils in rocks.
