what will happen if humans continue to use petroleum or petroleum products at an ever increasing rate

it will run out at some point

Explanation: petroleum is a non-renewable source and all the cars and vehicles on the ground use petroleum but it will some day run out because of overuse and worse is that petroleum takes very long to form.

relative dating involves things like higher layers are most recent than rocks lower in the sequence. this can be extended to the known sequence of fossils. rocks containing rabbit fossils are later than those containing dinosaur fossils.  

absolute dating methods mainly use radioactive elements that have known rates of decay and produce recognizable products. for example potassium 40 decays to produce argon. once a rock has solidified the argon is trapped. by measuring the argon and potassium0 you can get an accurate number for the age.  

some other methods are good for archaeological ages. dendrochronology involves recognizing the sequence of tree rings. the orientation of magnetized particles in baked clay can be used to date a fire.
