The preserved remains of an organism.

Foot prints, burrows, or other impressions made by animals that give use clues to how they lived.

When things die and their remains are buried.

The age determined by the things around it.

What are trace fossils?

Foot prints, burrows, or other impressions made by animals that give use clues to how they lived.

When things die and their remains are buried.

The preserved remains of an organism.

The age determined by the things around it.

What is the relative age of a rock?

The age determined by the things around it.

The age determined by radioactive dating.

The time it takes for 1/2 of the radioactive atoms to decay in an element.

What is the absolute age of a rock?

The age determined by radioactive dating.

The age determined by the things around it.

The time it takes for 1/2 of the radioactive atoms to decay in an element.

Use the diagram and relative dating to determine what is the oldest layer.

The bottom layer will contain the oldest fossils

The top layer will contain the oldest fossils

It is impossible to tell which layer contains the oldest fossils with out absolute dating

Layer A and C contain fossils from the same period

Use the diagram and the law of superposition to make a statement about the image.

The bottom layer is most likely the oldest and the top layer is most likely the youngest

The bottom two layers are generally the same age range

The top two layers cannot be determined because of weathering and erosion that may still be occuring

Ms. Felder decides to climb a mountain for fun. When she gets to the very top she looks down and sees a group of shells and notices the fossil of what looks like a fish. How does she explain this?

She knows that some marine fossils are found on top of mountains because of plate that have converged

She takes the fossils to a fellow scientist for absolute dating

She knows that some marine fossils are found on top of mountains because of plate boundaries that are divergent

She uses relative dating to try to determine how old the fossils are.

Sometimes sea shells can be found in strange places. Like deserts and on mountains. Other than plate boundaries moving what is another reason for this?

The sea levels use to be much higher and covered most of the land on earth. So marine fossils are found in places far from water

The earth's tilt on its axis has changed over the years and the equator use to be farther south

Sea levels use to be much lower

Plate boundary movement is the only correct explanation for marine fossils in strange places
