WHICH PROCESS COMPARES THE AGE OF ONE ROCK TO ANOTHER?

All Answers 1

Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
That process is called relative dating (or relative-age dating). It determines whether one rock is older or younger than another using principles such as the law of superposition, original horizontality, cross‑cutting relationships, inclusions, and fossil (faunal) succession. For an absolute calendar age, radiometric (absolute) dating is used instead.
