What are the two ways to measure time?

1/24/17 12 ways to measure time: relative absolute dating (radiometric dating) Principle of faunal succession is

life has changed through time -fossil assemblages are recognizably different

from one another as oo - Relative ages can be determined based on fossil content dans

Geological, or stratigraphic Ranges. uncomformities: non deposited or erosion

Stay SOUT

Ka thousand years Ma-Million years. Ga-Billion years - Ta-Trillion years Rock record is not always continuous due to erosion/weathering and then re-deposistion.

Uncomformities

• Disconformity - Gap in the rock record between

2 parallel layers of sedimentary rock & known by missing fossils in order found

around other noch layers nearby.

• Angular Unconformity - erosional surface on

tilted or folded strata over which younger strata are deposited to Nonconformity - erosionell surface cut into Ligneous or metamorphic rocks, overlain by Isediments

What is unconformities represent mean?

unconformities representi enormous amounts of time without sediment. Comelation of rock units = how geologist put together the time seale..

Heary isotopes will be less deflected by magnetic field than light isotopes. We also discuss several other topics like umass chemical engineering

We also discuss several other topics like ● What are the three ways to make a living as an organism?

We also discuss several other topics like when hydrogen shares electrons with oxygen, the outermost shell of the hydrogen atoms are full with electrons and oxygen’s valence shell is full with electrons. because the valence shells of these atoms are full, the atoms are stable.
