The total amount of living tissue within given topics level is called

to figure the total magnification of an image that you are viewing through the microscope is really quite simple. to get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4x, 10x, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, (usually 10x)

1. the geologists have established a set of principals that can can be used o determine the relative ages of rock. this principal is applied to sedimentary and volcanic rocks. the rocks exposed to wall of grand canyon has layers and by studying the number of horizontal layers in the rock(strata) the relative age can be determined. the layer first formed will appear at the bottom and the the layer of strata last formed appear at the top. by using this information the approximate age of rocks can be determined.

2. carbon dating is used to find the relative age of rock in numbers which means for the rocks that has age between 1-70,000 years.

3. for the rocks of age range between 1,000 - billion of years potassium-argon dating is used.
