These are three ways to find out how old a rock is. There's radiocarbon dating, potassium-argon dating and uranium-lead dating. Does this help?
The radioactive decay of potassium 40 produces in argon 40. The proportion of these two isotopes in rocks permit their age to be calculated.
Argon is used to make argon
Curiously enough, the name of argon Is argon.
what are the uses of argon?
It is the abbreviation for a form of radiometric dating called Potassium Argon dating (K = Potassium and Ar = Argon).

limitation of relative dating is simply your personal limit to how much pussie or dick you can take. ;D

One potential problem is contamination, where non-radiogenic argon may be present in the sample, leading to inaccurate age dating. Additionally, the closure temperature of the system can affect accuracy, as different minerals have different closure temperatures that can influence the retention and release of argon. Lastly, geological processes like metamorphism or recrystallization can reset the argon-argon clock, affecting the accuracy of age dating with these isotopes.

The two types of radioactive dating that are most common are: Carbon 14 and Potassium-Argon. There are quite a few others.
There's no specific limitations- it's just what you and your partner are comfortable doing with eachother.
The method used for determining the age of artifacts by measuring the rate of decay in atoms in volcanic rock is radiometric dating, specifically the potassium-argon dating technique. This method relies on the radioactive decay of potassium isotopes into argon isotopes in volcanic rock to determine its age. By measuring the ratio of potassium to argon isotopes, scientists can calculate the age of the rock and any artifacts contained within it.
