Relative dating to determine the age of rocks and fossils. Geologists have established a set of principles that can be applied to sedimentary and volcanic rocks that are exposed at the Earth's surface to determine the relative ages of geological events preserved in the rock record.
In contrast, fibers from natural sources are provided by nature in ready-made form. Natural fibers include the protein fibers such as wool and silk, the cellulose fibers such as cotton and linen, and the mineral fiber asbestos. Plant fibers can be further on classified as:1  Fibre occurring on the seed (raw cotton, java cotton). 2  Phloem fiber (flax, ramie, hemp, jute).n contrast, fibers from natural sources are provided by nature in ready-made form.

Cellulose is considered roughage because it is not digestible. Only organisms that are aided by certain bacterias that are not present in humans can digest cellulose.   Ce â¦ llulose is a polysaccharide because it is made up of glucose monomers bonded together through dehydration reactions (releases H2O).
