The Earth is made up of 4 different
layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer

Geological Time Scale
This is a system of chronological dating that relates stratigraphy
(geological strata) to time. This time scale is used by geologists,
paleontologists, and other Earth scientists to describe the timing and
relationships of events that had occurred during Earth’s history.
Bombardment
4-3.8 billion years ago a time occurred where
asteroid bombardment hit all of the planets
Stratigraphy
Relative Dating
Absolute Dating
This is a process where geologists find out the actual date, date
range or exact year. It is used to date the rocks and material to
see when the material was formed.
The science of determining the order of past
events, such as the age of an object.
Stratigraphy is a branch of geology that works with the order
and position of strata, as well as the relationship to the
geological time scale.
Fossil Record
This is the history of life presented
through fossils, found in sedimentary
rock.
