Cratering rates serve as a useful estimate of surface age. Surface features can be reworked primarily through water erosion, but also by wind erosion and faulting (earthquakes), volcanoes, and crustal movement.
Mars and Jupiter being closer to the asteroid belt, the rate of cratering may be slightly higher there. Our moon's surface appears to be quite old, judging by the number of impact craters it has. Earth would have even more, being a bigger target, but earth impacts have been largely eroded and subducted over the course of hundreds of millions of years.
What else can I help you with?
How do scientists use gamma rays to determine the composition of a planet?
They use spectroscopy.
How do scientists use gamma rays to determine to composition of a planet?
True
Can we see what elements are on different planets?
Yes, scientists use telescopes and space probes to analyze the composition of different planets. By studying the light that reaches us from these planets, scientists can determine the elements present in their atmosphere and surface materials.
What is one way scientist use to calculate the age of the universe?
One way scientists use to calculate the age of the universe is by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe since the Big Bang. By studying the cosmic microwave background radiation, astronomers can determine the age of the universe to be about 13.8 billion years.
What does the fujita scale use to rate tornado intensity?
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.
How do scientists use radiometric dating to determine the age of the Earth?
Scientists use radiometric dating to determine the age of the Earth by measuring the decay of radioactive isotopes in rocks and minerals. By analyzing the ratio of parent isotopes to daughter isotopes, scientists can calculate the age of the Earth based on the rate of decay of these isotopes.
How do scientists use isotopes to determine the of an object?
Scientists use the relative amount of stable and unstable isotopes in an object to determine its age.
Scientists use a what to determine if a transformation was successful?
Scientists use a genetic marker to determine the success of a transformation. Genetic markers will change if the transformation has succeeded.
How do scientists use gamma rays to determine the composition of a planet?
They use spectroscopy.
To determine the hardness of a mineral what do scientists use.?

How can be determine the heart rate from an electrocardiogram?
You use a heart rate machine
What happens to the impact on the surface of bodies without atmosphere?
W/o an atmosphere to erode them, they stay fresh. because scientists now know the age of the moon, they can count the number of impacts craters to find the rate of the cratering science the birth of our solar system. by knowing the rate of crating, scientists are able to use the number of the craters on any body of water to estimate how old the body of water is. this is easier because sceintsts don't need to bring back the rock to find out.
How scientists estimate the age in years of a fossil?
Scientists can use carbon dating to determine the age of a fossil.
Which model is use by scientists to determine the properties of elements?
punnett square
