What type of rock does radioactive dating work best with?
Rocks in general are not dated, but a fossil would be.
What type of rock best withstands weathering?
granite
What is the type of rock can withstand weathering the best?
Granite
Which rocks give the most reliable radiometric date?
Relative dating of rock involves an approximation of age based on fossil evidence found in a rock formation. The type of evidence found can be compared to the geologic time scale, a range of eras or periods in which the fossil can be found. Absolute dating of rock involves the scientific measurement of radioactive element decay and is fairly precise.
Does sediment or weathering reduce mountain to gravel?
Weathering. Sediment is a type of rock composed of layers dating back to thousands of years.

What type of dating involves matching up layers of rock from two different areas?
Correlative dating matches that definition.
Why is half life a radioisotope important for radioactive dating?
the half life forms a type of clock used to calculate time passed
What type of dating involves half-lives and can tell in which geologic period a rock was formed?
This is called absolute, isotopic, or radiometric dating.
What are two major methods of dating artifacts or fossils?
Two major methods of dating artifacts or fossils are relative dating, which determines the age of an object in relation to other objects, and radiometric dating, which uses the decay of radioactive isotopes in the object to calculate its age.
What is the best type of rock for fossil formation?
Sedimentary Rock
Which type of dating uses index fossils?
Relative dating. Paleostratigraphy correlates layers of rock using index fossils found within them.
