SCIENCE QUESTION EASY MEDAL! Which method describes an example of absolute dating? A. determining the vertical sequence of rock layers B. identifying index fossil in rock layers C. determining the horizontal sequence of rock layers D. measuring the radioactive decay of isotopes within rock layers
Than you
thank*
np
It's D because it relies of the radioactive decay of elements.
on*
hmm..
When you use absolute dating you find the ratio of the original radioactive isotope, which gives you the half life of the isotope in which gives the absolute age.
Index fossil only gives an estimate of the age, not the absolute age.
that makes sense
just read about it in th wiki
im gonna take your word for it
True I agree I was just reading this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_dating So I agree with D. sorry about that
