Which dating technique would be best for a volcanic rock containing uranium?

Uranium-lead dating would be the best technique for dating volcanic rock containing uranium. This method is commonly used for dating ancient rocks due to the long half-lives of uranium isotopes and the presence of lead isotopes as decay products that allow for precise age determination.


Does the absolute age of a rock change?

yes, it does actually because, radiometric dating determines the half life of the uranium in the rock. They can tell how old the uranium is because, all forms of uranium starts with 4.6 billion years of life. Meaning if the half life is 2.3 billion years that means the rock is about 2.3 billion years old

What is the name of the ore you get Uranium?

The ore you get uranium from is called pitchblende or uraninite. Uranium is extracted from these ores through a process called milling, where the uranium is separated from the rock and concentrated into yellowcake, a uranium oxide concentrate.


Can uranium be found under ground?
