Radiometric is the type of dating used to determine how old a fossil is.
By using the geologic time scale. Certain organisms are only found during certain times and if a fossil of one of these organisms is found then you can determine the relative age of the fossil.
Rocks in general are not dated, but a fossil would be.

If you keep using fossil fuels it there will be no more and you cant give off energy.
You can use relative dating which is looking at the rocks around it, or you can use radiometric dating, which compares the amount of radioactive element with the amount of nonradioactive element in the rock.
Yes , of course , what would be the alternative ?
The most accurate dating of a fossil would be provided by the radiometric dating of isotopically datable rock found in association with the sedimentary rock containing the fossil. Because sedimentary rock is composed largely of pre-existing rock, the fossil could not directly be dated isotopically. However, igneous intrusions, lava flows, and tuff which is found in the same strata, can be dated in this manner.
No. It is a type of energy taken from the movement of water. Using waterfall would be just like that. Fossil fuels are oil and gas.
we will have to use solar energy. we would not be using gas anymore
The world will be using non renewable energy
solar energy would be a good alternitive energy
Well, it depends on how much detail you want. Carbon-dating is actually very accurate to within a few thousand years. This sounds like a long time to us, but when you are talking about a fossil that is millions of years old, a few thousand years is nothing. Of course, you can't say that a fossil has been in the ground since 1:27pm, Monday 5th June, 34,050,389 BC, but considering the time scales involved, we can date fossils pretty accurately.
