SECTION III

Questions 1-9

With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, knowing the age of rocks became a

necessary prerequisite to finding industrial minerals, such as coal, iron, and the

other materials that fueled and sustained the great Western industrialization of the eighteenth Line and nineteenth centuries It was in the mining regions where engineers, who needed a

5 better system for organizing the various types of rock scattered across Earth's surface,

first grappled with scientific approaches to understanding the age of various rocks—and the age of Earth They realized that if the various rock units could he dated by their

relative ages, correlations among even widely separated rocks could be established and from this, some order recognized

10 The pioneering European geologists first believed that identifying a rock's type would

give them a strong clue to the age of the rock formation and that one of the most powerful clues came from the hardness of a given rock Specific rock types were thus assumed to have formed at characteristically different rimes, the softest rocks having formed the most recently This crude type of dating was first used to understand the way mountains were

15 formed, In the mid-1700's it was thought thai there were three distinct types of mountains

in Europe, each formed by a different type of rock and each created at a different time According to this theory, the oldest were the Alps, which had interior cores composed

of very hard, crystalline rocks (such as granite, schist, or basalt) These mountains were called Primitive Sitting on the flanks of the Primitive mountains were younger, smaller,

20 Secondary mountains composed of layered sedimentary rocks such as limestone

They were often rich with fossils and intermediate in hardness The youngest Tertiary

mountains were composed of softer mudstones and sandstone Rock type, hardness,

and size thus established mountain type, and rock type also became a proxy for age

However, study soon exposed the fallacy of these early notions It was discovered that

25 some of the very high mountains were composed of the softest sediments and that even hard volcanic rock was sometimes found in very low mountains By the early 1800's, it was understood that rock type was of no help in establishing age
