What are 3 examples that apply to both relative dating and absolute dating?
Kathytknsn
Relative dating and absolute dating are both used as terms in geology. These are both considered as methods to determine the age of an object. Also both are terms used in Archaeology.

The principles of horizontality, superposition; and index fossils.
For which of the following can a relative age be determined Select all that apply.?
I forgot to pick the homework up after class so I can't see the options.
What are some of the causes and effects of tornadoes?
There are many harmful effects on tornadoes but a couple of examples are destruction of homes, land, and necessities that apply to people. The causes of these natural disasters are the high wind speeds and the location where it strikes.
Where does Carbon Exist?
Origin: It's a product of heat and pressure of lesser elements. It is the end of a radioactive decomposition of higher elements. So, it exists whenever these processes are occurring. Generally, produced in stars. Carbon exists in all living things, and is basis for all living organisms. Even, after living things die, they still posses their carbon. (Hence, why we can apply carbon dating to most things.)
How can you tell the relative age of a sedimentary rock?
This an area of common misconception. Most sedimentary rock, and the fossils contained therein cannot be dated directly with radiometric techniques, but can be dated indirectly. Here's the facts:Because most sedimentary rock is composed of particles of pre-existing rock of various types, each particle can be a different age.Carbon-14 or carbon dating techniques can only be used to date organic material which is of a maximum age of 70,000 years; this leaves out the vast majority of fossils found in rock, and only covering roughly .000016 percent of geologic time.The dating of fossils was originally done by their placement in a geologic column of rock strata. Because of the Law of Superposition, the deeper the stratum, the older it is (in an undisturbed body of rock or sediment). Fossils which were evident in a particular stratum, but missing from other strata were noted as "index" fossils. The presence of these fossils indicated the age of the stratum relative to other layers. The layers of stratum were placed in a geologic column, subdivided, and assigned names based on the presence of different types of fossil organisms. The use of fossils in this manner is known as biostratigraphy and is the basis of "relative dating" of rock layers and fossils, a dating technique that was in effect until the advent of radiometric techniques in the twentieth century.Radiometric dating of rock involves the measurement of the amount of decay in radioactive elements which are present in the rock. Radioactive elements decay at unique rates, depending on the isotope. This rate of decay is known as half-lives, it is the time necessary for ½ of the atoms to decay in a particular element. The decay follows a geometric scale, in that in the first half-life of an element, ½ of the atoms decay, yet in the second half-life, ½ of those remaining decay and so forth. By measuring this decay, and knowing the half life of an element, scientists can date a sample. Radiometric dating is particularly useful in dating igneous and metamorphic rock.Because of geologic events such as plate tectonics and volcanism, suitable material for radiometric dating, such as volcanic tuff, solidified lava, and igneous intrusions have been found as layers on, in, and cut through layers of sedimentary rock. Intrusions are always younger than the rock body they penetrate, meaning that the sedimentary rock in which intrusions are found will be older than a radiometrically dated sample of the intrusion. Lava flows and volcanic ash which form layers in rock will be younger than the rock below and older than the rock above. The solidified intrusions and lava flows can be dated with radiometric techniques.The radiometric dating of suitable rocks (i.e. igneous or metamorphic) in proximity to their sedimentary counterparts, therefore allows the sedimentary rock to be dated as well.

The principles of horizontality, superposition; and index fossils.
What are relative dating and absolute dating?
Absolute dating is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology.Relative dating is determined by comparing its placement with that of fossils in other layers of rock.
How does carbon dating or radioactive dating work and why is it used?
Everything has carbon in it. When the organism dies, it begins to disintegrate. We know the rate at which things disintegrate at, so we can determine how much carbon is left and then apply a scientific formula and figure out how old the organism is. Radioactive dating works much the same.

What is the law for dating minors in California?
There are no laws regarding dating in California. The only laws apply to sexual contact.
Is it any person or any persons?
Either is correct, but the particular choice will depend on the usage. Only one is correct for a given application. Let's look at a couple of examples and see how each is used."We are seeking a housekeeping supervisor, and any person with a year experience is encouraged to apply.""We are seeking a housekeeping supervisor and all persons with a year of experience are encouraged to apply."The examples are compound sentences, as you can see. The relative portion of the examples is the latter one, and here they are broken out:"Any person with a year of experience isencouraged to apply.""All persons with a year of experience areencouraged to apply."In the examples, we see that "... person ... is..." and "... persons ... are ..." both meet the demands of proper English usage.

What are some examples of things that only apply to relative dating?
Ans3. Relative dating is the process of determining the age of one stratum of evidence relative to another. And ignoring (or not being able to determine) the absolute (real) dates.Consider an archaeological midden - a rubbish dump made by some ancient peoples. The items on the top are the most recent, and items below this are older and so on with each apparent layer of material.The items at the bottom, resting on otherwise undisturbed dirt, are the oldest.Always assuming someone /animal hadn't been turning the midden over since it was created.My namesss kimmmy, & i don't know thee correcttt answerr too thiss .

What is the maximum time limit before my decree nisi runs out?
There is no time limit for the Petitioner to apply to the Court for Decree Nisi once the Acknowledgement of Service has been received from the Respondent, however if the time lapse is excessive it may be necessary for the Petitioner to explain the reason for the delay. Once the Decree Nisi has been granted the Petitioner can apply for Decree Absolute six weeks later. If the Petitioner does not apply to have the Decree made absolute, once three months have elapsed from the earliest date on which the Petitioner could have applied for Decree Absolute, the Respondent may apply for Decree Absolute. Therefore the earliest that the Respondent can apply is three months and six weeks after the pronouncement of the Decree Nisi. If neither the Petitioner nor Respondent has applied for the Decree Absolute after twelve months then any application for Decree Absolute must be referred to a District Judge who must ensure that various information is provided."
