Relative Dating vs. Absolute Dating @coolman500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified time scale in archaeology and geology.bsolute dating provides a numerical age or range in contrast with relative dating which places events in order without any measure of the age between events.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that enofe or more for abuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events (i.e, the age of an object in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their absolute age, (i.e. estimated age). In geology rock or superficial deposits, fossils and lithologies can be used to correlate one stratigraphic column with another. Prior to the discovery of radiometric dating which provided a means of absolute dating in the early 20th century, archaeologists and geologists were largely limited to the use of relative dating techniques to determine the age of geological events.

Are you there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think thats in your own words. i dont need a paragraph i just need 2 sentences for each. (abuse and relative) @AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can I copy some of what I put

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@geny55 are you good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and are you there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you good with my answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, now i need 3 similarities for abuse and relative. And please no long answers. I need the answers in brief, understandable words. :) @coolman500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

relative dating is an aprommaxiate dating ussually used to make the time line of events. Absolute dating tell us the exact age or the time when it happened

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that just one similarity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need two more sentences for relative

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

we use both of thse datings to understand what the age of the fossil o something else.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and can i have two more similarities please?@AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

They are both methods of discovering the age of an object. They both are methods used in archaeology and geology.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait no i dont need similarities. I just need other facts about relative and absolute dating :) @AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

brb havent i gave you them earlier?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but that was just the definition, i need different facts. But facts in your own words

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

Relative dating can only determine the sequential order of events occurred. Relative dating is used for determining the relative order of past events

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and two for absolute

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified time scale in archaeology and geology. Absolute dating provides a numerical age.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give me one more simple one for absloute please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need one more simple fact for absolute please :) @AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

ok i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

In geology, the primary methods of absolute dating involve using the radioactive decay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

break it down a little bit more understandable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a seventh grader. lol :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats a radioactive decay?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

Radioactive decay is the process by which a nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing radiation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

understandable words please? lol

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

Radioactive decay is the process where atom losses enerhy by radiation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay better!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOU DESERVE A HUGE MEDAL!!! :) UR DA BEST!!
