What would you use to do absolute dating of a rock layer?
There are several ways to do absolute dating of a rock layer. One of these is to use the radioactive decay of the isotopes that are naturally found in rocks.
What would be the two methods of dating fossils and explain each?
relative and absolute. relative is determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age. Absolute is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology.
To determine the absolute age of rocks and fossils geologists use?
They would look for evidence of index fossils, those of certain rapidly evolving creatures that lived during a specific time period. This method is called relative dating. For a closer estimation they would be able to date the rock using radiometric techniques that base its age on the degree of isotope decay . This method would reveal the much more specific absolute age.
The SI unit of the drag force?
If you consider drag as a force, that would be Newtons.If you consider drag as a force, that would be Newtons.If you consider drag as a force, that would be Newtons.If you consider drag as a force, that would be Newtons.
What state would oxygen be at temperature absolute zero?
At absolute zero molecules are not supposed to move, so in theory everything would be a solid

Why would a scientist use both relative and absolute dating?
They both help you understand fossils
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).

Does radioactive dating allow us to find relative or absolute age?
Absolute dating of rock is achieved by radiometric dating techniques. Relative dating is achieved by determining the position of rock in strata, and the appearance of certain index fossils. Relative dating was a precursor to absolute dating. Before absolute dating techniques were discovered, the age of a rock was a guesstimate at best. Radioactive dating allows us to find an approximate date. So if something is dated about a thousand years ago plus or minus a hundred years the object may be from sometime between 1,000 and 1,200 A.D.
Does Microsoft Excel consider names to be relative references?
Named cells are normally used to reference specific cells, so they would be absolute references.
Would you consider atmospheric pressure when finding the pressure of a liquid in a closed container?
pressure is usually measured relative to atmospheric this is called gauge pressure. if you compare against absolute zero pressure (vacuum) this is called absolute pressure.
To determine the most accurate and precise age of the earths oldest rocks What would geologists use?
They would use absolute dating techniques which rely on the decay of radioactive isotopes found in association with the rock.
If he keeps asking you what do you look for in a manwhat does that mean?
the personality, characteristics you would like in a guy you would consider dating.. eg. he's funny, cute, built, bad.. etc..
Is double dating two boys cheating?
Only if they don't know about it. I would ultimately depend on the terms and conditions of the "relationships" that you are in. If you are their girlfriend, then most would probably consider this cheating.
When would you make a references absolute?
When would I make a reference absolute
How do you date an artifact?
To date an artifact, archaeologists use various methods such as radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology, pottery typology, stratigraphy, and seriation. These techniques help determine the age of the artifact based on its context, material composition, form, and associated finds. Combining multiple dating methods can provide a more accurate estimate of an artifact's age.
