When radiometric dating is applied to metamorphic rocks what is the date obtained?
Time since metamorphism.
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.
The radiometric dating of an igneous rock provides .?
the date for which the rock formed
Which method of radiometric dating is used mainly to date the remains of organisms that lived within the last 50000 years?
carbon 14 dating
Can use radiometric dating on all minerals to tell their absolute age?
No, radiometric dating can only be used on certain minerals that contain radioactive isotopes. These minerals include zircon, potassium feldspar, and biotite, among others. Not all minerals contain radioactive isotopes, so radiometric dating cannot be applied to all minerals.

What is a radiometric clock?
Radiometric clocks are naturally occurring radioisotopes, such as 14C, with known half-lives, that are used to date organic materials.

What is dating used to date ancient rocks millions of years old?

Techniques used to date the Turin Shroud and rocks?
It's called radiometric dating.
What is the best method of radiometric dating?
Radiometric dating is the principal source of information about the absolute age of rocks and other geological features, including the age of the Earth itself, and can be used to date a wide range of natural and man-made materials.
What radiometric dating is best to date rocks younger than fifty thousand years?
