A student commented, "A metamorphic rock must have a greater relative age than a sedimentary rock." Is the student using the term "relative age" here in the correct context, and why or why not?
A) No. Relative age should state a specific number of years in which the event occurred.
B) Yes, the term is used in the correct context, however knowing how long ago these types of rocks formed would be useful.
C) Yes. The ages of the rocks are ordered in relation to each other.
D) No. Relative age must compare the age of at least three things.
