Which property of uranium isotopes makes it useful for measuring events throughout the history of the earth?

The property of uranium isotopes that make them useful for dating events throughout Earth's history is their radioactive nature. Uranium isotopes undergo radioactive decay at a known rate, allowing scientists to measure the amount of decay products in a sample to determine its age. This method, known as uranium-lead dating, is particularly valuable for dating ancient rocks and minerals.
