For example, the lower rock layers will always be older than the rock layers that are above that specific layer.
The Earth is over 4.6 billion years old which results in there being many organisms that have fossilized. ]]> 2017-01-04 20:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_laffin/fiywfo9v0wic/wish/145373952 https://padlet.com/gina_laffin/fiywfo9v0wic/wish/145373955 Superposition is a law that states that the lower layer of rock will always be older than the rock above it.

It is important to know the order of events things happened in history in order to study it properly and put the pieces together]]> 2017-01-04 20:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_laffin/fiywfo9v0wic/wish/145376931 https://padlet.com/gina_laffin/fiywfo9v0wic/wish/145377091 The law of superposition determines the ages of the rocks and which rocks are older. Another big idea of Earth's history can be used by timelines. A timeline is the order of Ancient history, which is shown on a line. ]]> 2017-01-04 20:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_laffin/fiywfo9v0wic/wish/145377091 https://padlet.com/gina_laffin/fiywfo9v0wic/wish/145377196 The earliest layer is always on the bottom, and the most recent layer is always on the top. The Geologic Time Scale represents the whole entire history of the Earth since it's formation, about 4.6 billion years ago.

Radiometric dating helps scientists find the exact age of the fossils. ]]> 2017-01-04 20:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_laffin/fiywfo9v0wic/wish/145377347 https://padlet.com/gina_laffin/fiywfo9v0wic/wish/145377424 The law of superposition states that the lower the rock layer is, the older the fossils in that layer are. Scientists can determine the exact age of fossils in their rock layer by using radiometric dating.
