Examine the layers of rock. how does layering provide evidence for determining geologic age?

The deeper you  go down in to the rock the older the fossils get. So when the scientists go in to the rock they can say what animals lived in that time and what animal was the oldest.

This shows us how old the earth is and what was around at that time and the deeper you go the deeper the fossils get

Explanation:

Layer A is the most recent as it is formed around the outer layer which will probably have the most recent fossils too.

Layer B is the second most recent so it probably has older fossils than layer A.

Layer C is the third most recent and has most likely extinct animals.

Layer D is the oldest and has extinct animals or old and weathered rocks inside it and is deeper than all of the other layers.

This shows us how old the earth is and what was around at that time and the deeper you go the deeper the fossils get.

Hope this helped :) have an amazing day :)

if you need more to type say this too: Relative dating is a technique that is used in determining the age of a fossil by comparing its placement with that of fossils in other layers or rock. Relative dating therefore tell us about the age of a rock compared to another rock.

Relative dates arranges geological events, and the rocks left behind, in a particular sequence

maybe because its impossible for balloons to lift a whole entire house.
