It’s simple: Uniformitarianism means that change occurs over
So how do we know what happened when?

Using relative dating (and other techniques) we can match (CORRELATE) rock layers around the world.

What conditions help create fossils in rock layers?
1. Rapid _____________
2. Animal had __________________ – hard stuff that would stay around after being buried
The fact that fossils can be used leads to a new law:
Law of Fossil Succession: The kinds of animals and plants found as fossils change through time. When we find the same kinds of fossils in rocks from different places, we know that the rocks are the same age.

What does the periodic table have to do with dating rocks and fossils?
Some elements have _________: ______________of the element found in nature
As time passes, these isotopes break down or ______________

As the rock or dead animal lies on earth, radioactive elementsinside it decay
Each isotope decays at a different rate.
The time it takes for ½ of the atoms in the isotope to decay iscalled HALF-LIFE
Measuring the amounts of each isotope left in the fossil will giveus an accurate age
