You can determine:
- What the landscape of Earth was at a certain time (yes — rock layers record past environments).
- What kinds of plants and animals lived in an area at a certain time (yes — fossils in layers show past life).

You cannot determine:
- What the landscape will look like in the future (no).
- When a certain natural disaster will happen (no — layers can show past events but don’t give precise future timing).
