  • In this video, we examine how to determine to geologic sequence of events that occurred to form a rock formation, all from the analysis of an exposed rock cross-section.

    Thanks Mike. This is an exceptionally clear and well made video on relative geologic dating. Perhaps you can do a part 2 covering the different types of unconformities, more on the principle of correlation, the principle of faunal succession, and index fossils.

    Thank you for all the educated earth science videos. I am currently studying for CSET and your videos really help a lot especially this relative dating of rock layers. I have seen similar rock layers showed up on written response and was so clueless as none of the study guides mentioned anything about how to date rock layers. Until I came across your video…. The illustration and the way you presented the materials make everything seems so easy to understand. I just can’t thank enough for your gifted talent in teaching and I enjoy watching every video you made.

    If you need the 7 rules for science class:
    1. Sedimentary rocks form as sediments are deposited on the bottom of a body of water.
    2. Weathering and erosion of rock layers occurs on the surface (not under water).
    3. The layers of rock on the bottom are the oldest.
    4a. Sedimentary layers are deposited horizontally. Deformation includes folding, faulting, and tilting.
    4b. Intrusions are younger than the rocks they metamorphose.
    5. Faults are younger than the rocks they cut through.
    6. Uplift, weathering, and erosion, and subsidence forms unconformities.
    7. Inclusions must be older than the rock they are in.

      A global flood explains sedimentary layers much better. Type in folded mountains in Google images and see what the majority of the mountains look like. Try bending rock and see what happens. Could be that all the layers were soft when the mountains were formed. Makes more sense than fossils being formed at the bottom of oceans. I scuba dive and I don’t see any dead fish being buried. Most dead fish float. They usually get eaten and torn apart by scavengers either on the beach or sea bottom.
