It is method of arranging the geologic events based on rock sequence. A.) relative dating B.) absolute dating C.) geologic time scale D.) radiometric dating 3.) Which of the following are true about the relevance of absolute dating to geologic time scale? A.) Absolute dating would give numerical or absolute age of the succession of events in the layers B.) Absolute dating would determine the age of the ash layers and the occurrenons of volcanic eruptions C.) Absolute dating would provide ages based on radiometne dating of igneous rocks D.) Absolute dating would provide ages of fossil-bearing sedimentary rocks
Answers & Comments
Answer:
Relative dating is used to arrange geological events, and the rocks they leave behind, in a sequence. The method of reading the order is called stratigraphy (layers of rock are called strata).
Explanation:
They use absolute dating methods, sometimes called numerical dating, to give rocks an actual date, or date range, in numbers of years. This is different to relative dating, which only puts geological events in time order.Relative dating is used to arrange geological events, and the rocks they leave behind, in a sequence.
