What is the heaviest rock in the whole world?
Ayers rock is the most heaviest rock in the whole world.
What is Radioactive dating of rock samples?
Radioactive dating of rock samples determines the age of rocks from the time it was formed. Geologist determine the age of rocks using radioactive dating. The radioactive dating relies on spontaneous decomposition into other element. The spontaneous decomposition is called radioactive decay.
Which rock layer can you date by radioactive dating using half- life?
Rock layers of igneous and some metamorphic rock that contain certain radioactive isotopes are datable by isotopic techniques.
Is relative dating the most accurate process by which geologists determine the age of a rock?
No. Absolute dating is the most precise method for dating rock. Absolute dating relies on the known rate of decay of radioactive elements present in the rock to arrive at a fairly precise age.
How can the absolute age of a rock be determined?
Through Radioactive Dating or Isotopic Dating.
What is radioactive fossil?
A radioactive rock is one which contains traces of radioactive isotopes. These isotopes release radiation in its various forms. Any rock can be radioactive, but in particular igneous rocks tend to have radioactive properties. This is because they may have radon gas trapped in their crystals, which, under pressure, is released (this is why radon gas is used as an indicator of an upcoming earthquake). Radon gas is radioactive, and this causes the rock to be radioactive also.
What is the single most radioactive element in the world?
i think it's plutonium
Why are igneous rock most often used in radiometric dating?
Their radioactive clock is set when they solidify from magma or lava.

Is plutonium rock?
Plutonium is an artificial, radioactive metal.
Which rock contribute highest radioactive heat?
granite
What type of rock does radioactive rock work with?
Rocks in general are not dated, but a fossil would be.
What is one radioactive isotope the geologists can use to learn the exact age of the rock?
Absolute dating is a radioactive isotope the geologist can use to learn the exact age of the rock.
What is one radioactive isotope the geologist can use to learn exact age of the rock?
Absolute dating is a radioactive isotope the geologist can use to learn the exact age of the rock.
Which rock is the most heaviest rock?
Uluru or Ayers Rock is the largest and heaviest rock in the world.
