About this document
Relative Ages of Rock and Fossils by adegr8963 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Geologists use absolute and relative age to describe rock layers, with absolute age being a numerical value and relative age comparing ages of rocks or fossils. Relative age is determined by examining rock layers and the fossils within them, noting the appearance and disappearance of specific fossils. Fossil similarities across distant rock layers suggest they were deposited simultaneously.
