Granites and gneisses of the Dharwarian Age are commonly found on peninsulas. Most of these can be found near the Indian Peninsula.

What type of rock is best for radioactive dating?

Sedimentary rocks are not ideal for radioactive dating because they are made up of material that can be eroded and re-deposited, which can affect the accuracy of the age determination. Igneous rocks, particularly volcanic rocks like basalts or granites, are more suitable for radioactive dating because they form from the cooling of magma or lava and retain the isotopic compositions at the time of their formation.


What is the opposite of an ice age?

The opposite of an ice age would be a period of warming or a period of global warming. This would involve an increase in temperatures and a reduction in ice cover compared to what is typically found during an ice age.


Which fossil is most likely to be found in the same age bedrock as centroceras?

A fossil that is likely to be found in the same age bedrock as Centroceras is a marine organism such as other types of algae, foraminifera, or marine invertebrates like brachiopods or ammonites. These organisms lived in similar environments and time periods as Centroceras, making them common in the same age bedrock layers.


What type and age of rock found in this mountain range are also found on another continent what might this mean?

The type and age of rock found in a mountain range that are also found on another continent suggest that the two landmasses were once connected as part of a larger supercontinent. The presence of similar rocks indicates that they share a common geological history and were once part of the same landmass before continental drift separated them.


How fossils can be used to determine the absolute and relative age of a sedimentary rock layer?

Perhaps by carbon dating and by comparing with the evolution and dominance of various organisms in the geological time scale.
