Purpose: At the end of this lab you will: 1) Understand how to use Steno's laws for relative dating rock units Part 1- Steno's Laws In this activity we will apply Steno's laws and the physical principles of geology that we discussed in lecture. Steno's laws are an example of how you can use the relationship between rock layers to determine relative ages for specific events. If you would like a refresher on Steno's laws please take a look at your lecture notes or listen to the Steno's Law's lab introduction. Please read this lab instructions document, but download the lab answers page (which is a fill-in-able word doc) to add your responses and then upload that file.
