Cosmic ray protons blast nuclei in the upper atmosphere, producing neutrons which in turn bombard nitrogen, the major constituent of the atmosphere. This neutron bombardment produces the radioactive isotope carbon-14. The radioactive carbon-14 combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and is incorporated into the cycle of living things.

Can a 21 year old date a 16 year old in new york state?
Yes, a 19 year old can get in trouble for dating anyone under the age of 18, because that is called child mulestation.
How long is chorus?
depends on who writes the song. that person desides how long to make it you cant determine how long is chorus unless you have a specific song.
Why cant carbon 14 be used to determine fossil age of the fossil is several hundred thousand years old?
Carbon-14 dating is only effective up to about 50,000 years due to its short half-life of 5730 years. For fossils older than that, other dating methods like potassium-argon dating or uranium-lead dating are used, which have longer half-lives and can accurately determine the age of fossils that are several hundred thousand years old.
Why cant they use the carbon 14 method to date dinosuar bones?
The carbon-14 dating method is ineffective for dating dinosaur bones because it can only date organic materials that are up to about 50,000 years old. Dinosaurs went extinct approximately 65 million years ago, far beyond the range of carbon-14 dating. Instead, scientists typically use radiometric dating methods, such as uranium-lead or potassium-argon dating, to determine the age of dinosaur fossils and the surrounding rock layers.
How does something get petrified?
A person or animal can get petrified by seeing a basilisks eyes through water, mirrors or camera lenses: pretty much seeing them without staring directly into them. a ghost can get petrified by staring directly into the eyes, but because they are dead they cant die again.
Why cant we use carbon 14 to date the rocks?
Carbon 14 is absorbed by living organisms. When they die, they stop absorbing carbon 14 and the isotope then decays. Form the time of death of the organism, the quantity of C14, as a proportion of the total carbon in the organism declines and, measuring that decrease allows the age (or time of death) of the organism to be determined.
What cant be dated using Carbon 14 dating?
Things that don't contain carbon (such as many types of rock) can't be carbon dated. Also anything which is too old (such as several hundred thousand years or more) can't be carbon dated because the carbon 14 will have decayed away to undetectable levels.
Why cant geologist use the carbon-14 method to date igneous rock?
Geologists cannot use the carbon-14 method to date igneous rock because carbon-14 dating is effective only for organic materials, such as wood or bone, that contain carbon. Igneous rocks, formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, do not contain organic carbon and therefore do not incorporate carbon-14 during their formation. Instead, geologists typically use radiometric dating methods involving isotopes of elements like uranium or potassium, which are suitable for dating the age of igneous rocks.
Why cant carbon-14 be used to date material that is older than 75000 years?
Carbon has a half life of 5730 years. That means that after 5730 years there'll only be half the amount left. After about 11500 there will be a quarter of the original. After 75000 years there will be about 0.0001 of the original sample which is too small to date accurately?
Why cant geologist use the carbon-14 method to date igneous rock and date dinosaur bones?
Geologists cannot use the carbon-14 method to date igneous rocks and dinosaur bones because carbon-14 dating is effective only for organic materials and samples that are less than about 50,000 years old. Igneous rocks form from molten material and do not contain organic carbon, while dinosaur bones, though they are biological in origin, typically date back millions of years, far exceeding the maximum effective range of carbon-14 dating. Instead, other dating methods, such as uranium-lead or potassium-argon dating, are employed for these materials.
Did Bruno Mars admit to dating guys?
Bruno Mars do not dating guys, he had a girlfriend, so he cant be dating guys!
Why cant you date an old stone tablet by doing carbon-14?
Carbon-14 dating is not effective for very old stone tablets because the method is only accurate up to about 50,000 years due to the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5,730 years. Stone tablets are most likely much older than that, so other dating methods like luminescence dating are used instead.
How can you determine the densities of liqued?
you cant
How do you determine if a younger partner likes you for yourself rather than the potential financial gain from dating an elderly gent?
You cant unless you are a mind reader. so al you can do is cover yourself just in case.
