B- correlation
Correlation is the concept in relative dating that involves matching similar fossils (or rock strata) from different locations to determine if they are of the same age. This technique is used by geologists to piece together the geological history of an area by comparing and relating rock layers from different locations based on the fossils they contain or other characteristics. It often involves the principle of fossil succession, which states that fossil organisms succeed one another in a definitive, recognizable order, therefore, rocks with similar fossils are likely to be from the same period.
