    Rock layers form over time as sediments accumulate or igneous rocks solidify. Geologists correlate rock layers across different locations by comparing their composition, order, and fossil content to determine if they were formed at the same time in Earth's history. This lesson will teach students about the formation of rock layers and how geologists use various methods like examining fossils or the order of rock sequences to correlate layers and learn about past geological events.

    Lesson: Formation of Rock Layers


    Rock Layers
    Correlation of Rock Layers
    How do geologists correlate rock layers?

     The process of showing that rocks or geologic events occurring at different


    locations are of the same age is called correlation. Geologists have developed a
    system for correlating rocks by looking for similarities in composition and rock
    layer sequences at different locations.
     The geological technique of correlation provides information that have taken in
    Earth’s history at various time that occurred. There are different methods in
    correlating rock layers, these includes:
