Question
Methods used by geologists to determine the general sequence of geologic events from oldest to youngest are known as: a. relative dating b. absolute dating c. general dating d. physical dating
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Relative dating methods determine the chronological order of events or rocks (which is older, which is younger) without assigning specific numerical ages. This is based on principles like superposition and fossil succession.
Hint
This tells you the sequence of events, like putting them in order from oldest to newest, but not the exact year.
