Subject: Earth Science

Learning Competencies:
Describe the different methods (relative and absolute dating) of determining the age of
stratified rocks (S11ES-IIh-36).

Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
• define relative dating, the laws of superposition, uniformitarianism, and original
horizontality.

1. The Law of Superposition helps scientists to determine what?


A. The absolute age of rock layers C. The relative age of rock layers
B. The age of fossils D. The super powers of rocks

2. Relative dating of rock layers tells us that the deeper we dig, _______.
A. the younger the rocks get C. the harder the rocks get
B. the smellier the rocks get D. the older the rocks get

3. The stratigraphic relationship where flat-lying strata overlies the eroded edges of inclined
older strata is called
A. unconformity. C. disconformity.
B. nonconformity. D. angular unconformity.

4. According to this principle, rock layers extend laterally and cover very broad areas,
especially if they formed at the bottom of ancient seas.
A. Principle of Original Horizontality C. Principle of Lateral Continuity
B. Superposition D. Principle of Unconformity

5. Types of unconformities where sedimentary rock strata above and below the surface of
erosion are parallel to each other.
A. Angular Unconformity C. Disconformity
B. Nonconformity D. Paraconformity
