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. 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:
The natural cellulosic fibres include cotton, flax, hemp, jute, and ramie. Cellulose is a polymeric sugar polysaccharide) made up of repeating 1,4-8-an hydro glucose units connected to each other by 8-ether linkages.he natural cellulosic fibers include cotton, flax, hemp, jute, and ramie. The major man-made cellulosic fiber is rayon, a fiber produced by regeneration of dissolved forms of cellulose.
