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.

Geologists determine the absolute age of rocks using?
Geologists determine the absolute age of rocks using the rates of decay of radioactive elements. Radioactive dating measures the amount of various isotopes present in the sample.
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.
When geologists say that a mineral always contains certain elements in definite proportions they mean that the mineral always has what?

Which term refers to the examination of urine to determine the presence of abnormal elements?
Urinalysis: The examination of urine to determine the presence of abnormal elements.
What is an alternative that correctly describes elements considered as noble gases?
Inert gases or group 18 elements.
How an elements particular emission or absorption spectra would be important to geologist astronomers and chemists?
geologists would be aided by these spectra in searching underground with different wavelenths and then determine the elements in the surrounding earth or soil An astronomer would be able to penetrate dust clouds and space debris to look at the fundamental compositions of a star or stellar system. These spectra tell you what elements are in something that you cannot physically test/experiment with/melt.
