Hello there! Are there are any answer choices to this question you have?

Brainster · Answer

I don't know if this is one of the answer choices, but according to https://az.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ess05.sci.ess.earthsys.dateflows/dating-lava-flows-on-mauna-loa-volcano-hawai699i/ , "Scientists use radiocarbon dating, a radiometric dating analysis of carbon isotopes, to date objects that are 60,000 years old or less." This leads me to think that the answer would be "Radiocarbon dating."
