What are four types of radiometric dating?
The four types of radiometric dating are: Potassium, Uranium, Rubidium, and Carbon I hope thats the answer you were looking for:)
Radon is found in all kinds of rocks everywhere.?
Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
How do scientists best determine the age of the earth?
The best estimate for Earth's age is based on radiometric dating of fragments from the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite. From the fragments, scientists calculated the relative abundances of elements that formed as radioactive uranium decayed over billions of years.
Why is a uranium isotope often used rather than 14C in radiometric dating to determine the age of earth?
The isotope carbon 14 is used only for organic materials (or objects contaminated with organic materials); also carbon 14 dating is applicable only to short periods of time.
Does uranium affect the environment?
Uranium is toxic and radioactive; without precautions uranium can be an important pollutant near the mines or uranium plants.
Which dating technique would be best for a volcanic rock containing uranium?
Radiometric dating based on the decay of the uranium.
How is uranium found?
Analyzing samples of soils and waters, examinations of minerals, radiometric measurements in territory (also air surveillance).
How was uranium found?

How can uranium and radium be found?
Radium is a by-product of the uranium industry.
What are the uses of the isotopes uranium 238 or potassium 40?
Uranium 238 (depleted uranium) uses: - fertil isotope in some types of nuclear reactors - shield against nuclear radiation - counterweight - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green or yellow colors) - toner in photography - mordant for textiles - additive for the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy - other minor uses Applications of potassium-40: - minerals dating by the potassium-argon method - radiometric analysis of samples containing potassium
Would you use uranium- lead radiometric dating to find an igneous rocks age?
would you use uranium-lead radiometric dating to finnd an igneous rocks age

Has the amount of uranium in Earth increased over geologic time Has the amount of lead in Earth increased?
The amount of uranium decreasesd, the amount of lead increased over geologic times.
Is uranium extraced from the earth?
Of course, from minerals containing uranium.
Is uranium neutral or ion?
Uranium is a solid metal; in solutions are many ions containing uranium.
What is the use of a metal lead relating it with uranium?
The system uranium-lead is very important for radiometric dating of rocks (ages between 106 and 5.109 years).
Radon is found in all kinds of rocks everywhere.?
Radon exist in rocks containing uranium or thorium.
