Answer 2

Correlation is the process of showing that rocks or geologic events occurring at different location are the same age.

Explanation:

• Correlation is an important geological technique because it provides information with regard to changes that have taken place at various time in earth's history.

• Correlation is the process of establishing which sedimentary strata are of the same age but geographically separated.

• Correlation involves matching a particular rock unit in one exposure with its counterpart at a different locality using criteria such as colour, mineral composition, characteristic fossils etc.

• By correlating various rock exposures separated by great distances, geologic maps can be constructed and the original geographical extent of the rocks can be estimated.

• The principle of fossil correlation states that like assemblages of fossils are the same age and therefore strata containing these particular fossils are also the same age.

• Fossils are therefore very useful in correlating, or matching up rock sequences in exposures separated by great distances.
