Textbook Question
Chapter 14.1, Problem 6MI
Compare relative and radiometric dating using the table below. Provide three facts for each types of dating.
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To compare:
Relative and radiometric dating using the table below, along with three facts for each type of dating.
Introduction:
Fossils are the remaining parts or hints of old life that have been saved by regular cycles, from fabulous skeletons to small shells. Engravings, tracks and trails can likewise get fossilized, similar to dinosaur impressions or worm tunnels.
Explanation of Solution
| Relative dating | Radiometric dating |
| Does not give exact age. | Cannot be used with of fossil sedimentary rocks which means must date other rocks near sedimentary fossils. |
| Youngest rock on top of older rocks. | Gives accurate age of fossil. |
| Used with sedimentary rocks | Measures rate of decay of radioactive isotopes. |
