Key Questions

1

 2. Catastrophism-all geologic changes occurs suddenly with a catastrophe  Ex. Meteorite or earthquake

 3. Relative age- determining if an object or event is older or younger than another object or event

 4. Superposition-younger rocks lie above older rocks “YOUNGER OVER OLDER”

 5. Geologic Column-sequence of rock layers that contains all of the fossils and rock layers arranged from oldest to youngest
