i think rocks age becauce of the carbon inside of them.
Paleontologists use carbon dating to determine the age of rocks.
relative age
The study of the age of rocks.

The fault will be younger than the rocks it faulted (cross-cutting relationships).
with rocks...
The Stone Age is the period when people used tools (hammers, arrow heads, etc.)made from rocks.
relative age
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.
Age increases as we move further away from the MOR. Oldest rocks being of age 200 million years.
The study of strata is called stratigraphy. Stratigraphy can be used to determine an approximate age of fossils in rocks.
