Based on Hutton’s principle of uniformitarianism, early geologists surmised geological processes work slowly and the Earth is very old. Relative dating principles was how scientists interpreted Earth history until the end of the 19th Century.

Absolute dating utilizes various techniques that allow geologists to give rock formations, sediment deposits, faults, etc. a numerical age.
