How will you determine the age of rock and mineral by carbon dating?
You cannot use carbon dating to determine the age of rocks and minerals. Carbon dating only works on samples of once living materials.
How old are rocks in ocean crust?
The age of rocks in the ocean crust depends on where the rocks are collected. Scientists collected rock samples from the sea floor. They found out that rock samples that were closer to mid-ocean ridges were younger than the samples farther away from the ridges. So pretty much you could get rocks that are thousands of years old to over millions of year old.
Where would a geologist collect rocks and soil samples?
Lithosphere
Does radioactive dating tell the relative age of rocks?
No. Radioactive dating is an absolute dating tool.
When geologists place rocks in their proper sequence of formation this is called dating?
Relative Dating
What is Radioactive dating of rock samples?
Radioactive dating of rock samples determines the age of rocks from the time it was formed. Geologist determine the age of rocks using radioactive dating. The radioactive dating relies on spontaneous decomposition into other element. The spontaneous decomposition is called radioactive decay.
