Seismic data confirm
the existence of discontinuities in Earth’s interior.
Discontinuities = changes in rock layers

Geologic Time: 4.5 Billion years of Earth History
How was Geologic Time deciphered?

Example: In the mid-1600s, Archbishop James Ussher determined that the Earth was created on:
“nightfall preceding 23 October 4004 BC”
This date was included in some editions of the bible for hundreds of years.
Early estimates of Earth’s age were based on religion
![Page 37: Lecture 16: EarthScope and Tsunamis No Homework!€¦ · Tsunami generation and hazards! 4. 4. Geologic ages!

Beginning in the 1700s, scientists used various methods to estimate Earth’s age
1860s: Lord Kelvin: 20 – 400 Million years, based on rock cooling rates (did not account for heat sources)
1780s: James Hutton: millions of years based on sedimentation rates “father” of geologic time “we find no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end”
1900s: Radiometric dating: 4.5 Billion Years
1800s: 100s of milllion yrs based on rates of: salt accumulation in ocean evolutionary change of fossils

Two components of Geologic Time 1. Relative Dating: Determine the order of geologic events 2. Absolute Dating: Assign ages to each different event
![Page 39: Lecture 16: EarthScope and Tsunamis No Homework!€¦ · Tsunami generation and hazards! 4. 4. Geologic ages! Learning Objectives (LO) Lecture 16: EarthScope and Tsunamis Read: Chapter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022090606/605b4011dabe80631d575977/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
1. Deposition 2. Erosion 3. Intrusion 4. Faulting 5. Rock Deformation
Rock strata are formed by deposition of sediments in sedimentary environments
Relative Dating allows us to “order” five
fundamental geologic events
![Page 40: Lecture 16: EarthScope and Tsunamis No Homework!€¦ · Tsunami generation and hazards! 4. 4. Geologic ages! Learning Objectives (LO) Lecture 16: EarthScope and Tsunamis Read: Chapter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022090606/605b4011dabe80631d575977/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Rocks that are exposed to air or water are eroded. This erosion produces gaps in the geologic record called unconformitites.

An intrusion cuts across existing rocks
Relative Dating allows us to “order” five
fundamental geologic events
1. Deposition 2. Erosion 3. Intrusion 4. Faulting 5. Rock Deformation

A fault cuts across existing rock. Faulting occurs in individual rocks and on the scale of the tectonic plates.
Relative Dating allows us to “order” five
fundamental geologic events
1. Deposition 2. Erosion 3. Intrusion 4. Faulting 5. Rock Deformation

Deformation may tilt, fold, uplift and even invert existing rock layers. Deformation may expose rocks to erosion.

Relative dating of Grand Canyon rock layers
Can you determine the order of events that formed these layers?
To do this, geologists use
Seven Stratigraphic
Principles
![Page 45: Lecture 16: EarthScope and Tsunamis No Homework!€¦ · Tsunami generation and hazards! 4. 4. Geologic ages! Learning Objectives (LO) Lecture 16: EarthScope and Tsunamis Read: Chapter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022090606/605b4011dabe80631d575977/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Seven Stratigraphic Principles are used for Relative Dating
1. Principle of Superposition: Younger layers are deposited above older layers.
2. Principle of Original Horizontality: Layers are deposited horizontally.
![Page 46: Lecture 16: EarthScope and Tsunamis No Homework!€¦ · Tsunami generation and hazards! 4. 4. Geologic ages!

Seven Stratigraphic Principles are used for Relative Dating
3. Principle of Original Lateral Continuity: Sedimentary beds were deposited in unbroken layers.
4. Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships: Geologic features that cut pre-existing rocks are younger that they cut.

Seven Stratigraphic Principles are used for Relative Dating
5. Principle of Inclusions: A piece of rock that is incorporated into another rock layer is older that the rock layer.
6. Principle of Unconformities: An unconformity represents the passage of an unknown amount of time.
