<span>Absolute dating tells you exactly when an event usually geological occurred and it can be done by carbon 14 dating for present to about 40,000 yrs ago and before that in rocks it can go back at least 200 million years. It helps to determine the age relationships between geological events like sedimentation and intrusion and orebody ages and also the age of fossils. </span>

The correct answer is - when an event occurred in years.

The absolute dating tells us exactly when something happened in years. By using the carbon 14 technique it can be very accurate to about 40,000 years ago, and also by studying the rocks, it can be accurate to an incredible 200 million years backwards. This is of great importance for the fields of geology and paleontology, as well as all the sciences that use the information's from them for their own studies. This method allows the scientists to be able to put things into the right order as to when they happened in the geological history, thus creating a very accurate picture of the order of the events that took place in the past of our planet.

what kind of stress forms mountains resulting from large blocks of rock squeezing together when two tectonic plates collide
dimaraw [331]
The three main type of stress are : Compression, Tension, and Shear stress.  Compression squeezes and shortens rock while Tension stretches and pulls rock, making it thinner.  <span>Shear stress distorts a body by pushing parts of the body in opposite directions. Sheared rock bends, twists, or breaks apart and slides past neighboring rock. So, Compression stress is the stress that forms mountains resulting from large blocks of rock squeezing together.  </span>

The mineral particles found in the layers of a soil, including the topsoil and subsoil layers, were originally weathered from
ki77a [65]

The answer is the parent material. Parent material is what occurs on the surface before soil begins to form. This is found in new environments such as after a volcanic activity. Pioneers organisms of an ecosystem and abiotic elements of weathering such as water and temperatures begin to weather the rocks into smaller particles, Humus and organic matter from life accumulate with the minute rock particles to form soil over time. The topmost soil is the most developed and this is why soil has profiles towards the deep into the parent rock material, depending on the stage of weathering.

If you could dig a tunnel right through the Earth you could theoretically free-fall to the centre of our planet in just eighteen minutes. You can’t, of course: such a tunnel would have to tolerate temperatures as high as the surface of the Sun and pressures three and a half million times greater than those at the Earth’s surface.
