  1. Fossils Test Review By: Kaylee Sheppard

  2. What is the name of the super continent that later broke apart to make smaller continents?

  3. PangeaClick here to see a interactive video.

  4. What is the difference between relative dating and absolute dating?

  5. The relative age is the age of a rock layer, or fossil, in that layer based off fossils around it. Absolute age is the numeric age of a layer of rocks, or fossils, in years.

  6. What type of rock are fossils most likely to form in?

  7. Sedimentary

  8. Based off this image, which rock layer would be the oldest?

  9. Layer D

  10. What is the law called that lets us know that layer D is the oldest and layer A is the youngest?

  11. Law of Superposition

  12. What does this image tell us about the distribution of fossils between continents?

  13. Fossils have been spread across many continents.

  14. What is radioactive dating?

  15. Measuring the amount of radioactive material that an object has.

  16. What kind of fossil is this?

  17. T-REX!

  18. You will do great on your test tomorrow! Make sure you review your study guide for homework tonight.
