What type of objects would you do carbon dating on?
On an object with unknown age but more than halflife of C
Can you use carbon dating to find out how old something is around 40 years old or newer?
Carbon dating measures the amount of carbon halflives that an object's carbon-14 has seen. A halflife is the amount of time it takes for half of the C-14 present to decay into a different element (N-14). A carbon halflife is 5730 years so you wouldn't be able to tell with such a small amount of time.
Why can't radiometric dating be used with accuracy on metamorphic rocks?
An accurate radiometric date can be obtained only if the mineral remained a closed system during the entire period since its formation this is why radiometric dating can't be used with accuracy.
Is radiocarbon dating accurate?
Radiocarbon dating is generally accurate for dating organic materials up to about 50,000 years old. However, factors such as sample contamination and calibration errors can affect the accuracy of the results. It is important to consider these limitations when interpreting radiocarbon dates.
What problems might arise when potasium-40 and argon-40 radioactive isotopes are use for age dating?
One potential problem is contamination, where non-radiogenic argon may be present in the sample, leading to inaccurate age dating. Additionally, the closure temperature of the system can affect accuracy, as different minerals have different closure temperatures that can influence the retention and release of argon. Lastly, geological processes like metamorphism or recrystallization can reset the argon-argon clock, affecting the accuracy of age dating with these isotopes.

Atmospheric carbon-14 levels change over time
