Scientists use radioactivity to determine the age of a rock through a process called radiometric dating. They measure the amount of radioactive isotopes present in the rock and the rate at which they decay into stable isotopes. By comparing the ratio of parent isotope to daughter isotope, scientists can calculate the age of the rock based on the known half-life of the radioactive isotope.
