Radiometric dating is quite appropriate to the dating of volcanic output. The half life of the K-Ar reaction is about 1.3 billion years. Other chronologies could include Uranium:Lead, Rubidium:Strontium, and so on. It is just a matter of choosing a chronology suited to the expected age of the sample.

When does Heatran learn eruption?

Well, really, Eruption is not in Heatran's moveset.It know makes no sense,but,he at no point learns Eruption. The only way (besides Action Replay/ hacks) for Heatran to learn Eruption WAS an event on Pokemon Ranger:Guardian signs.If you still want to know Heatran's moveset, here it is.Start:AncientPowerLv.9:LeerLv.17:Fire FangLv.25:Metal SoundLv.33:CrunchLv.41:Scary FaceLv.49:Lava Plume(Pretty much the closest to Eruption)Lv.57:Fire SpinLv.65:Iron HeadLv.73:Earth PowerLv.81:Heat WaveLv.88:Stone EdgeLv.96:Magma Storm(Another move similar to Eruption)I hope this helped. But if you REALLY want a Heatran that knows Eruption, you can order a Action Reply from Codejunkies for $19.99.Or, you can try your local stores such as Walmart,Target,Gamestop,etc. Here is where you can find a TM17 Modifier.
