This video quickly and very clearly explains the notion of relative dating and absolute dating in stratigraphy, giving examples and comparing the two types of methods.
This video has been put online for beginners in geology, in particular in License 1 and 2 at the University, or for high school students in science.
Video highlights:
0:07: Introduction
0:26: Relative dating methods
3:36: Absolute dating methods
5:50: Conclusion (comparison between relative and absolute dating)
