HOW DO GEOLOGISTS DETERMINE THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS THAT FORMED THE ROCKS?
Relative Dating: Determining whether an object or event is older or younger than other objects or events.

THE PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION
A principle that states that younger rocks lie above older rocks in undisturbed sequences.

PRINCIPLE OF ORIGINAL HORIZONTALITY We assume that the sediments were
deposited horizontally. Any changes to that must have
happened afterwards.

DISTURBING FORCES
Sometimes the rocks are disturbed.

PRINCIPLE OF CROSS-CUTTING RELATIONSHIPS
The fault or intrusion must’ve come after the sediment was deposited.

THE GEOLOGIC COLUMN
The ideal sequence of rock layers that contains all theknown fossils and rock formations on Earth arrangedfrom oldest to youngest.
We use it to compare whenwe are not sure of the age of arock sequence.

MISSING EVIDENCE
Unconformities-when the surface is missing part of the geologic column.
