Hi,

Scientists have used rock samples to date the Earth's past. They also might use Steno's principles. 

Relative dating is the determination of the age of a rock or geological event by comparing with other rock/ geologic events. Absolute dating is a form of geologic dating that gives an actual date or age in history that the item was formed or died in years. 

Steno's principles are: 

Law of superposition - Bottom layer is the oldest, top layer of the youngest In undisturbed layers of sedimentary rock or magma.

Original horizontally - When sedimentary rock layers form, they are "created in a horizontal form.

The Principle of Lateral Continuity -<span> States that layers of sediment initially extend </span>laterally<span> in all directions.

Talja [164]

Answer:

Hydrosphere: all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds.

Biosphere: the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.

Geosphere: any of the almost spherical concentric regions of matter that make up the earth and its atmosphere, as the lithosphere and hydrosphere.

Atmosphere: the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
