The half- life of an element is important for determining the of a rock a decomposition rate b relative age c absolute age d mineral makeup?
Absolute Age
The half-life of an element is important for determining what characteristic of a rock A decomposition rate B absolute age C relative age D mineral makeup?
The half-life can be used to determine the absolute age because the original amount of the elements can be calculated from the current value.
What would be the two methods of dating fossils and explain each?
relative and absolute. relative is determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age. Absolute is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology.
Why is relative and absolute location important?
Absolute Location and Relative Location is important it is because it telling you EXACTLY the location it is at.
How does relative dating and absolute dating help scientists assemble a fossil record for an area?
Relative dating is the science determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age Absolute dating is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology.
What are two of determining a fossils age?
The two methods are "RELATIVE DATING" and "ABSOLUTE DATING". :)
The half-life of an element is important in determining the of a rock?
relative age
What kinds of evidence do scientists use to study early migration?
By examining fossils and by determining their relative and absolute ages, scientists have collected.
What is the absolute and relative of Switzerland?

Absolute and relative describe this?
Absolute and relative are really absolute value and other such.
What is the process of figuring out how old an object is?
The general term is Dating. In archaeology and geology, the process of determining the approximate numerical age of something is called Absolute Dating. The process of determining the age of something relative to another thing (if it's older or younger) is called Relative Dating.
