GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chronostratigraphy is the element of stratigraphy that deals with the relation between rock bodies and the relative measurement of geological time. It is the process where distinct strata between defined stratigraphic horizons are assigned to represent a relative interval of geologic time.

Detailed explanation-2: -The International Chronostratigraphic Chart describes the geological time in which the history of the Earth is inscribed. It combines a numerical scale that uses as a unit a million years (chronometric scale) and a scale in relative time units (chronostratigraphic scale).

Detailed explanation-3: -Chronostratigraphy-“The element of stratigraphy that deals with the relative time relations and ages of rock bodies.” Geochronology-“The science of dating and determining the time sequence of events in the history of the Earth.”

Detailed explanation-4: -radiometric dating: Determination of the absolute age of rocks and minerals using certain radioactive isotopes. relative dating: Rocks and structures are placed into chronological order, establishing the age of one thing as older or younger than another.
