scientists use carbon14 and potassium argon to find absolute age of rock
What else can I help you with?
What are the Similar things about absolute and relative age?
They are both types of age used in measuring rocks.
Are scientist able to determine the absolute age of the earth?
Yes, scientists have determined the absolute age of the Earth to be approximately 4.54 billion years using various dating methods such as radiometric dating of meteorites and rocks from Earth.
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
How do scientist determine the ages of rocks?
They can use either radiometric dating or magnetostratigraphy.
What is a scientist that study rocks?
a geologist studies rocks, but volcanologists study volcanic rocks
What method do geologists use to determine the absolute age of rocks?
Radioactive dating is used to determine the absolute ages of rocks. By Jennifer Palos
Who is the scientist that sudies rocks?
petrologist
How do scientist use the rate at which radioactive decay in rocks?
they measure how long it takes for half of its unstable molecules to turn to more stable atoms, a half life
Method used to estimate the absolute age of a stream is to?
The absolute age of a stream can be estimated using radiometric dating of rocks found along its path. By analyzing the isotopic composition of these rocks, scientists can determine when they formed and thereby establish the age of the stream. This method allows for accurate dating of the stream's formation based on the age of the rocks in its vicinity.
Scientist who studies the characteristics of rocks and the forces that have shaped earth?
A scientist who studies rocks and the forces that have shaped the earth is called a geologist. They often start as a kid fascinated by rocks who is left to wonder "how did this get here?"
What is a geochronologist?
A geochronologist is a scientist who studies the ages of rocks and minerals to understand the history of the Earth. They use various dating methods to determine the timing of geological events and processes, such as the formation of mountains or the evolution of life.
How scientist classify rocks?
they look through a microscope
