Document Summary
A thin layer of life on earth"s surface, composed of ecosystems. Be able to use principles of superstition, original horizontality, lateral continuity, and cross-cutting. Relationships to distinguish between the oldest and youngest portions of geological sections. In layered strata (sedimentary rocks, lava flows) - what"s on top is youngest. If it"s tilted/folded, it was originally flat. If it"s here it"s probably over there too. If it cuts through, it is probably younger. The present is the key to the past". The same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now have always operated in. Be able to describe the concept of faunal succession and the use of fossils in correlation and in the subdivision of earth history. Part of stratigraphy that identifies the relative ages of rock layers using fossils. Desert environment (not a good environment; dry, vulnerable to wind) Glacial environment (not a good environment; icy, few species)
