Geological Time Scale
Absolute Dating
Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified chronology in archaeology and
geology. Some scientists prefer the terms chronometric or calendar dating, as use of the word
"absolute" implies an unwarranted certainty of accuracy.
Relative Dating
Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events (i.e., the age of an object
in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their absolute age, (i.e. estimated age).
geologic time scale is a system of chronological dating that relates geological to time.
