Radiometric dating is not useful to directly determine the age of rock.?
sedimentary
The radiometric dating of an igneous rock provides .?
the date for which the rock formed
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.
Which dating technique would be best for a volcanic rock containing uranium?
Radiometric dating based on the decay of the uranium.
Which dating method enables scientists to measure or estimate the absolute age of sedimentary rock?
Radiometric dating of igneous rocks that relate to the sedimentary rock
Radiometric dating is not useful to directly determine the age of rock.?
sedimentary
Radiometric dating is least useful for dating what type of rocks?
Sedimentary Rocks
Radiometric dating is not useful to directly determine the age of?
sedimentary
The radiometric dating of an igneous rock provides .?
the date for which the rock formed
When is the radiometric clock set in the lifetime of a rock?
The radiometric clock is set when the rock is formed. Because this is when it sets, radiometric dating is used by geologist to find out when the rock was formed.
What can radiometric dating tell us about the age of rock that law of superposition cannot?
Radiometric dating can give us the absolute age of the rock. Trace fossils and the Law of Superposition can only provide the relative age of the rock. Radiometric dating is far more specific in formation analysis.
How do you tell how old a fossil is by the rock layer?
by relative dating or radiometric dating
Why is igneous rock best for radiometric dating?
What method, and what materials, are best for dating depends on what exactly you are after.

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.
Method of dating rock when the amount of parent and daughter materials are measured?
radiometric
Which dating technique would be best for a volcanic rock containing uranium?
Radiometric dating based on the decay of the uranium.
Which dating method enables scientists to measure or estimate the absolute age of sedimentary rock?
Radiometric dating of igneous rocks that relate to the sedimentary rock
