a: Relative dating ~
b: multi-layered cake

What:

"Relative dating is like looking at a multi-layered cake. The base layer must come first, then the second and then the third. So I can say the second layer is younger than the first and older than the third but I have no idea whether the cake is 5 minutes or 5 million years old. Relative dating is used commonly when looking at the relative order of geological event"
