    Timeline Diagram

    • P:29
    • Read and
    By using the type and place of rocks , connect
    them together , and correlate them to the
    principles of relative age dating , and fossil
    records. This will help to build up the Earth’s
    history
    Objective
    • Recognize the types of rocks

    • Explore the different “unconformities “ of the


    rock layers

    • Correlate the fossils and rock layers to help in


    relative dating of rocks
    Key words
    • Unconformities
    • Disconformity
    • Igneous rocks
    • Metamorphic rocks
    • Nonconformity
    Key words
    Objective 1

    •Recognize the types of rocks


    Igneous rocks / metamorphic
    rocks / sedimentary rocks
    • Rocks formed when magma cools and solidifies
    Igneous rocks

    • Rocks formed from layers of sediment deposited by water, ice or


    wind
    sedimentary rocks
    • Rocks formed when sedimentary and igneous rocks are changed by
    a very high temperature and pressure

    metamorphic rocks
    Sedimentary rocks
    Igneous rocks
    Igneous rocks

    Granite Basalt
    Metamorphic Rocks

    • ( quarts to marble )
    Sediment / magma / lava /
    fossils
    • Molten rocks found below the earth’s surface
    Magma
    • Magma at the Earth’s surface
    Lava
    • Small pieces of rocks such as pebbles, sand and mud
    Sediment
    • The remains of dead organisms that lived millions years ago which
    were buried under the ground

    Fossils
    Objective 2

    •Explore the different


    “unconformities “ of the rock layers
    What are the arrows pointing at
    in the pictures ?p:32
    • an areas where two rocks merge together

    • An area of mass extinction

    • An area where rocks are eroded away ,


    producing breaks or gaps
    Gaps in rock record p:32
    • The lines are pointing to a line between different
    rocks .This is known as

    • Igneous rock

    • Unconformity

    • Metamorphic rock
    Gaps in rock record p:32

    Sedimentary layers (strata ) overlies other


    type of sedimentary layers

    Sedimentary layers overlies other tilted rocks

    Sedimentary layers overlies other type of


    rocks
    Find out from the book
    the name of each
    conformity
    Angular Conformity

    Disconformity

    Nonconformity
    Angular conformity / Nonconformity /
    Disconformity
    • When a layer of sedimentary rock overlies a layer of igneous , or
    metamorphic rock Nonconformity

    • When a horizontal layer of sedimentary rock overlies another


    horizontal layer of sedimentary rock that has been eroded
    Disconformity
    • When horizontal layer of sedimentary rocks are uplifted and tilted
    during mountain building or other geological events , and another
    horizontal rocks are later laid down on top of them
    Angular conformity
    Label the figure A,B,C to
    correspond with the match photos

    C
    •Correlate the fossils and
    rocks
    • What causes the gaps between
    rocks ?

    • Weathering and erosion

    • How do you think geologists fill


    in those gaps with missing rocks
    • By correlating each layer to the
    similar one
    Use the principle of lateral continuity that states that sediments are
    deposited in large continuous sheets in lateral direction. A reviser
    might erode the layers , but their placement didn’t change
    Superposition, which states that older rocks are
    located at the bottom and younger rocks at the
    top
    No , non of the rock types are the
    same
    5
    The matching of rock layers or
    fossils exposed in one geographic
    region is known as :
    • Mass extinction

    • Uniformitarianism

    • Correlation

    • Index fossils
    P:36 read and answer (group)
    • All fossils are useful in determining the age of the rocks No

    • If the rocks are very far away or in different continents , geologists


    depend on fossils to study the age of rocks Yes

    • If two rocks contain the same fossils , scientists can infer that they are
    formed in different times No, they have the same age

    • The most useful fossils represent fossils that existed on Earth for shot
    time, abundant, and in may locations Yes
    Fossils represent fossils that existed on Earth
    for shot time, abundant, and in may locations

    • Mass extinction

    • Uniformitarianism

    • Correlation

    • Index fossils
    • Crinoids, trilobites, giant ammonite, and brachiopod can be the
    index fossils, because they existed for a short period of time
    The ash goes to the atmosphere and eventually falls
    back to the surface if the Earth
    •The rock layer above the top ash is
    younger than 540 mya. The rock layer
    between the ash layers is between 730-
    540 mya. The rock layer at the bottom is
    older than 730amy
    P:39
    No , the layer above the iridium layer is younger. The
    iridium layer marks the mass extinction of dinosaurs
    If the rock is distinctive enough , it can be
    used for correlation and dating events
