Bell Ringer:
On your own, use the 5 principles of relative age dating
to finish the examples from the notes handout!
Asterisks (*) represent rock that has been heated up and
changed due to magma intrusions.
Today’s Learning Goal:
•We are going to learn 5 Principles of Relative Age Dating
Original Horizontality, Superposition, Cross-Cutting, Inclusions,
Fossil Succession
Today’s Agenda:
•Notes handout
•Design your own cross-section
Figure A
Figure B
Figure 4
Design your own cross-section
• Start by writing out the geologic history, then
drawing what it would look like!

– 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper
– At least rock 5 layers (strata)

Relative Age Dating
– Must include an intrusion
– Must include a fault OR a fold w/ erosion

Monday’s Learning Goals:
• How do scientists assign numerical dates to rocks, and
ultimately the earth?
