Description
The relative dating activity allows you to practice relatively dating of volcanic features. After seeing the relative dating lesson you will have the tools necessary to identify which volcanic features are relatively older than others. This object includes 10 images of different volcanic stages of seamount formation. |
|
Instructions Print out the images and put the pictures in the correct order from youngest (most recently formed) to oldest (formed the longest ago). The order of the slides in the acitivy is the correct order from youngest to oldest so try mixing up the images first and then puting them back in the correct order. |

Description
This lesson explains the application of relative dating for volcanic features in the ocean. The initial lecture focuses on the concept of relative dating. Relative dating of island chains was a fundamental step toward the development of the hotspot theory utilized over 100 years before the hotspot theory was introduced. The goal of this lesson is to prepare students to make predictions of the relative age of volcanoes based on predictable progressions. Lesson duration: Approximately 35 minutes. |
