- Essential Questions (leave space to answer)
- How are rocks used to construct earths
chronological history?
- Relative Age the age of an object in relation
to another object - If undisturbed, oldest on the bottom and youngest
on the top - Law of Superposition - layers (strata) that are
younger will be deposited on top of layers that
are older - View
- DE Interactive
- Superposition
Warm Up Think about the word recrystallization
. What do you think happens during this
process? What type of rock does the word allude
to?

- Movement of Tectonic plates
- Can bend layers like a taco (oldest layer may be
bent until its on the top. - Faults a break in earths crust where rock
slips past another - Intrusion magma (igneous rock forms) that has
forced its way through existing rock layers
23Sometimes Rock History Erodes Away
- Unconformity - a buried erosion surface
separating two rock masses or strata of different
ages (a missing rock layer due to erosion)

of parent material in a rock sample be determined
by using half-lives? How does the amount of
parent material in a sample change as time
increases?

Determining Absolute Age
Absolute Age / Radioactive Dating
Essential Questions (leave space to answer) 1.
How do rocks provide evidence of earths absolute
age?
- Absolute Age assigns a quantitative estimate of
the number of years ago an event occurred. - Determining Absolute Age
- Radioactive Dating using radioactive particles
found in a rock to determine the actual age of
the rock - Radioactivity Radioactivity is a process in
which subatomic particles escape from the nuclei
of unstable atoms releasing energy. - See diagram atom
Warm Up What is radioactive dating? How is that
different from relative dating?
- Homework
- Bring in plain MMs or Skittles for a sweet
lab! - Choose an element from the half- life chart and
create a graph representing the daughter and
parent element over time. - Test October 1 and 2
-
Page 19
Page 20
32Which rocks do geologist use?
- -Igneous rocks are most useful due to unique
chemical makeup. Radioactive materials are
unchanged. - Sedimentary rock is not as reliable because its
made of many different rock particles - Metamorphic dating usually results in the age of
the change, not the original rock
33(No Transcript)
34Determining Absolute Age
- Use an elements Half-life The time it takes for
an element to decay. - Examples
- Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years.
- Always found in LIVING organisms
- Potassium-40 has a half-life of 1.3 billion years
- Half Life You Tube
- Using a specific calculation can help you
determine the absolute age using half-lives

36Practice Time!!!Copy this chart
Element Z is found in an igneous rock and we are
