Geologists utilize the principles of stratigraphy, particularly the Law of Superposition and the Principle of Faunal Succession, to compare the timing of the origin and extinction of life forms. The Law of Superposition states that in undisturbed sedimentary rock layers, older layers are found below younger ones, allowing geologists to establish a relative timeline. The Principle of Faunal Succession asserts that specific fossil groups follow a distinct chronological order, enabling scientists to correlate the age of rock layers with the presence of particular life forms. These principles together help in dating both the emergence and disappearance of species in the geological record.
Geologists classify rocks based on their mineral composition, texture, and formation process. These characteristics help geologists understand the origin and history of the rocks, as well as their physical and chemical properties.

Political science studies all facets of the origin and operation of government.
Geologists make thin sections to study the mineral composition and texture of rocks under a microscope. Thin sections allow geologists to identify minerals, assess the rock's origin and history, and understand its physical and chemical properties in detail. This analysis helps in interpreting the rock's formation processes and geological history.

Geologists classify rocks based on their origin (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), grain size (fine-grained, coarse-grained), mineral composition (feldspar-rich, quartz-rich), and texture (foliated, non-foliated).
