Answer to Question 1

Relative dating involves placing events in a sequential order. Absolute dating results in specific dates
for events, expressed in years before the present.



Answer to Question 2

The original geologic time scale was a relative scale based on rock sequences. Now radiometric dating
has allowed absolute ages to be added.
