Plate Tectonics Objective(s): SWBAT describe the layers of the Earth. SWBAT describe the plate tectonics theory including, how plate tectonics operating.
Absolute vs. Relative Dating of Rocks - As time passes, the rock cycle creates and destroys rocks. This process leaves behind layers of different types.
Relative Dating of Strata. Relative Dating Determining relative ages of rocks or strata compared to another rock or strata. Can say which layer is older.
