1 EARTH S HISTORY Geological Evolution
2 EVIDENCE FOR EARTH S AGE ROCK LAYERS FOSSILS UNIFORMITARIANISM RELATIVE VS. EXACT DATING
3 ROCK LAYERS Many thousands of sedimentary rock layers Takes thousands to millions of years to form each layer! Remains of once-living species found in these rock layers
4 ROCK LAYERS Life has been changing forms for millions of years! Youngest rock layers contain fossils that look most like current living species
5 FOSSILS Fossils provide important evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed Fossils show how life changes forms Fossils show that environmental conditions change
6 FOSSILS Fossils allows scientists to compare rock layers that are far apart (across the state, country, world) Same fossils in different places = same time period
7 FOSSILS
8 FOSSILS Faunal Succession: A species will exist for a period of time, go extinct, then never reoccur. When you find a fossil and you know it s age, no matter where else you find it, they all must be the same age
9 FOSSILS Index fossils: Fossils of living organisms that lived during a short time period but over a large part of the world No matter where we find them we know their age.
10 WHICH ARE INDEX FOSSILS?
11 THE BLUE AND THE PURPLE ARE.
12 WHICH IS THE INDEX FOSSIL?
13 D IS THE INDEX FOSSIL
14 FOSSILS There are tons of fossils species in the rock record! To get such biodiversity it takes millions of years for life to change that much.
15 UNIFORMITARIANISM Uniformitarianism = The changes we see happening to the earth s crust today are the same as they were in the past. Uniform(ity)- = the same
16 UNIFORMITARIANISM We can know how rocks are created/ moved/ broken/ weathered and eroded in the past. This means that they take the same amount of time and have the same effects then as they do now.
17 UNIFORMITARIANISM Processes that are similar now as in the past: Weathering and Erosion Movement of Earth s plates Changes in the make-up of the atmosphere Catastrophes: Earthquakes, volcanoes, and asteroid/comet impacts
18 RELATIVE VS. EXACT DATING How can we tell the age of rock layers and the fossils found in them?
19 RELATIVE DATING Telling the age of rock layers using other rock layers or fossils Law of Superposition Younger layers on top (no overturn or folding)
20 RELATIVE DATING Younger Older
21 EXAMPLES OF RELATIVE DATING Mr. Pentoney is OLDER than his students. The school building is YOUNGER than the students. I am OLDER than my pet.
22 ABSOLUTE DATING Telling the actual (numerical) age of a rock layer or fossil Carbon 14 dating Radioactive Dating
23 ABSOLUTE DATING: CARBON-14 The amount of normal carbon (carbon-12) to carbon- 14 (radioactive) in the air and in all living things at any given time is nearly constant. [Balanced]
24 ABSOLUTE DATING: CARBON-14 Maybe one in a trillion carbon atoms are carbon-14. The carbon-14 atoms are always decaying, but they are being replaced by new carbon-14 atoms at a constant rate.
25 ABSOLUTE DATING: CARBON-14 At this moment, your body has a certain percentage of carbon-14 atoms in it, and all living plants and animals have the same percentage.
26 CARBON-14 Scientists compare the amount of Carbon-12 (normal carbon) to the amount of Carbon-14 in fossils to determine their age Based upon the half-life of Carbon-14 (about 5,700 years) This means every 5,700 years ½ the carbon-14 in a fossil will turn into N14 (Nitrogen-14)
27 EXAMPLES OF ABSOLUTE DATING This fossil is 23,000 years old The rock layer is 5,000 years old The school is 3 years old. There is always a number!
28 ABSOLUTE DATING: RADIOACTIVE DATING Earth is about 4.6 billion years old
29 C-14 AND RADIOACTIVE DATING SAME THING- DIFFERENT RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS! C-14 for younger rocks Radioactive dating for older rocks
