which concept of relative dating refers to the process of matching similar fossils from different locations

Answer 1

The concept of relative dating that refers to the process of matching similar fossils from different locations is known as biostratigraphy. Biostratigraphy involves using the presence of fossilized plants and animals to establish the relative ages of rock layers (strata) and to correlate them across different geographic locations. By identifying and comparing fossil assemblages, geologists can infer the chronological sequence of events and the relative ages of the rock formations in which these fossils are found.
