How did geologists determine the divisions of the geologic time scale?
Mainly abrupt changes in mineral layers or the fossils in them.
How do you separate layers of different densities?
Gravity - using a centrifuge to speed things up. Note that if the substances are mixable then this fails.
How do scientist know what deep layers are made of earth?
They study the layers by seeing how seismic waves travel through the earth. By the time of the arrival, and how the frequencies of the waves are arranged within each set they can tell things about the density and other things about the layers.
Why do sediments form in layers?
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
What artery wall is made of 6 layers?
Arteries actually have 5 layers, it is the veins that have 3. Arteries have: -the Outer coat -Elastic layer -Middle coat (thin) -Another elastic layer -Endothelium
Geologists have learned that earths interior is made up of layers or trenches?
Layers.
What kind of scientists would study the earth's layers?
Geologists
How do geologists use the column?
Geologists use the geologic column to classify layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust.
How do geologists use geologic column?
Geologists use the geologic column to classify layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust.
Using data from seismic waves geologists have learned that Earth's interior is made up of several?
Layers I believe.
What clues does extrusion tell geologists?
Geologists study where intrusion and extrusion formed in relation to other rock layers. This helps geologists understand the relative ages of the different types of rock! Hope it helps;)😊
How do you separate paraffin from water?
By filtering, paraffin is not soluble in water.
Technology used to find out the different layers of the earth?
The technology used to find out the different layers of the earth is referred to as sonar technology. This is the method that geologists use to find details about the layers of the earth.
How can you use fossils and geologic features interpret the relative age of rock layers?
Geologists use carbon-14 to interpret the relative age of rock layers

What methods did geologists use when they first developed the time scale?
The methods the geologists used when they first developed the geologic time scale. Were studying rock layers and index fossils worldwide. By Patrick
What physical property is responsible for determining how Earth materials separate out into interior layers?
Density is responsible for determining how Earth materials separate out into interior layers.
