Which feature of a sedimentary rock if present would most likely to help a scientist determine its age?
A fossil contained in the tock
How do scientist use radioactive elements to determine the actual age of fossils?
scientist can determine a fossil's age in two ways: relative dating and absolute dating
How did Apollo landings on the moon help scientists determine the age of the moon?
They brought back samples of lunar rocks so the scientist's could determine the age of the moon.
What is the process of how a scientist can estimate the age of fossil?
carbon dating
When scientist identify the age of a fossil they?
Place it in a time period
How scientists estimate the age in years of a fossil?
Scientists can use carbon dating to determine the age of a fossil.
What do isotopes enable scientist to determine?
age
What to methods are used to determine the age of a rock or fossil?
There are two methods used to determine the age of a rock or fossil. The first is carbon dating and the second is radiometric dating.
Are scientist able to determine the absolute age of the earth?
no
How do scientists determine age?
by seeing what levels the fossil go to
What are two ways scientist determine age?
Scientists determine the age of objects or organisms through radiometric dating, which measures the decay of radioactive isotopes, or through dendrochronology, which analyzes the patterns of tree rings to determine age.
What are the fallacies of fossil dating?
One of the biggest fallacies of fossil dating is that they use the rock layer to help determine the age of the fossils, but the fossils are also used to help determine the age of the rock layer.
