Here's why:
* Relative dating is a method used to determine the age of rocks and fossils by comparing their positions to other rocks and fossils. It relies on the principle of superposition, which states that in undisturbed rock layers, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest layers are at the top.
* This method does not provide a numerical age for fossils, but rather establishes their age relative to other fossils or rocks.
