TOPIC: STRATIGRAPHY                                                                                 SPRING 2019

SES4. Students will understand how rock relationships and fossils are used to reconstruct the Earth’s past.

  1. Describe and apply principles of relative age (superposition, original horizontality, cross-cutting relations, and original lateral continuity) and describe how unconformities form.
  2. Interpret the geologic history of a succession of rocks and unconformities.
  3. Apply the principle of uniformitarianism to relate sedimentary rock associations and their fossils to the environments in which the rocks were deposited.
  4. Explain how sedimentary rock units are correlated within and across regions by a variety of methods (e.g., geologic map relationships, the principle of fossil succession, radiometric dating, and paleomagnetism).
  5. Use geologic maps and stratigraphic relationships to interpret major events in Earth history (e.g., mass extinction, major climatic change, tectonic events).
