since the rock formed. (150 million years old, 10 thousand years
old.) Much

Relative Age The age

6. What is a Fault? A
in the Earths crust. A fault is always
than
the rock it cuts through. Faults
, making determining the age of the layers
confusing. Faults move over time causing the rock layers to move. As more time goes by, more rock layers are
added on
. Making aging the rock layers difficult. Geologists must then label each of the rock layers.
This can be tough because they werent around to see the whole process occur.

the flow of rivers. Irrigation
(deserts), changes the ecology of those areas. Building dams

C. Metamorphic rock is older than nearby sedimentary
rock because sedimentary rock is deposited before
metamorphic rock forms.
D. The exact age of a sedimentary rock layer can be
found using the layers above and below it, even if the
layers are not in their original
4
positions.

sedimentary rock that have not
