Which isotope would you use the estimate something that was about 1 million years old?
The method of uranium-lead dating.
Can scientists use radiocarbon dating to find the age of a very tall old redwood tree living in an old forest?
It would be possible to find the age of a tree using radiocarbon dating. This is because as a tree lays down each of its growth rings it is only the outer layers which continue to exchange carbon with the atmosphere. Therefore, by dating a sample of wood from the INNER ring of the tree you could find out when it first began to grow. Unfortunately this process would be slightly pointless for two reasons, firstly you would have to kill the tree, and secondly dendrochronology, or tree ring dating remains the most accurate dating method available to archaeologists (where a suitable sample can be found) so it would make much more sense to just count the rings (if the tree was still living) or use dendrochronology to match up the rings and find a date (if the tree has been dead).
How would it affect your results if you used a beaker with residual water in it to measure out your standardized sodium Huydroxide NaOH solution?
Depends on how accurate your results need to be. If you're not using grade A or B glassware and its just a standard beaker then the effect of the residual water will be negligible compared to the calibration error of the beaker.
What is a direct method of observing the earths interior?
A direct method of course would be by analysing Rock samples
Does shape or placement of a rain gauge affect its accuracy?
If it covers a larger area it would be more accurate, and if it was under open sky it would be more accurate, otherwise it wont allow the water to get to it.
What would result from under coverage?
A lack of accurate results APEX :D
Which radiometric-dating method would be most apprioate for dating artifacts found at effi gy mounds?
Carbon-14 dating would be the most appropriate radiometric dating method for dating artifacts found at effigy mounds. This method is commonly used for dating organic materials such as wood, charcoal, or bone, which are typically found in archaeological sites like effigy mounds.
What is the difference between accurate and reliable results?
a accurate result would be true as possible but a reliable result would be one that is compared
What are good online dating sites?
I would look on Match or eHarmony. They have the best results out of all the dating sites.
How important is it to have accurate measurements in science?
Very, the more accurate the the measurements the more accurate the results, thus furthering more accurate tests down the road based on said results. The more tests you do on bad results the further off the results get with every test you do. Changing the independent of the test with bad measurements would void a result.
What method would archaeologists use to date the remains of cro-magnons?
Radiocarbon dating.
What would provide the most accurate method of determining cloud base altitude?
Laser Ceilometer
What is the most accurate method of body fat testing?
Depending on how much body fat you have, the most accurate method for measuring body fat is eitherDual-emission X-ray absorptiometryHydrostatic WeighingIf you are not morbidly obese, #1 would be most accurate.
Could the potassium argon method of radiometric dating be used to date rocks that are estimated to have formed 1000 years ago?
No. Potassium decays to argon, and geologists measure argon as the daughter material. The half life is too long for 1000 years to give sensible results.
Why would using more plants most likely produce more accurate results than using one plant?
You can divide it by the numbers of plants so that it is accurate.
Which isotope would you use the estimate something that was about 1 million years old?
The method of uranium-lead dating.
Which radiometric dating method would be ujsed to date objects found at effigy mounds?
Carbon-14
