Are you fascinated by how scientists determine the age of geological events? In this video, we will explore the concepts of relative and absolute dating of the geological timescale. We'll dive into the principles of superposition, cross-cutting relationships, and index fossils that help geologists decipher the history of our planet.


You'll learn about the differences between relative dating, which determines the order of events, and absolute dating, which assigns actual dates to events. We'll also discuss the various methods used in absolute dating, such as radiometric dating and tree ring dating, and their strengths and limitations.


Understanding geological dating methods is essential for understanding the evolution of life on Earth and the geological processes that have shaped our planet. So, whether you're a student, a science enthusiast, or just curious about the world around you, this video is for you!
