The use of geologic records of sudden events, such as the relocation of shorelines or the deposition of volcanic ash, to correlate rocks of widely separated regions. 12.Using the Visual Overview on page 152 as your guide, evaluate the various methods of correlating rocks with regard to age. Which methods are especially useful for intercontinental correlation? --
