Can use radiometric dating on all minerals to tell their absolute age?
No, radiometric dating can only be used on certain minerals that contain radioactive isotopes. These minerals include zircon, potassium feldspar, and biotite, among others. Not all minerals contain radioactive isotopes, so radiometric dating cannot be applied to all minerals.
A technique used in absolute dating?
Method of determining the age of a mineral that utilizes the damage done by the spontaneous fission of uranium-238, the most abundant isotope of uranium. In geology and archaeology, the process of determining an object's or event's place within a chronological scheme.
Are radioactive isotopes used to determine the absolute age of rocks?

That information would enable you to discern, determine, and conclude, and confidently to state to others, which rock was created before the other, and which rock was formed subsequent to the other.

What is relative and absolute age?
Absolute- Actual Age of a rock Relative- The age of something compared to other things Relative age does not tell how old something is but tells us in what order events have happened relative- the age of a rock or fossil compared to the surrounding rocks and fossil
How is radioactive decay useful in dating rocks and minerals?
Radioactive decay has a constant rate of change, therefore it con be used to somewhat accurately tell the age of an object if you work backwards through the use of half-lifes (half of the existing radioactive material decays, leaving half of the original in its original form)

Relative dating
How can fossils be used to determine the relative ages?
They are able to tell the order in which events occured, NOT how long ago they occured.Identify the order in whicih rock units formed(:rocks makes babys with apenis
