A technique used in absolute dating?

Answer 1

Method of determining the age of a mineral that utilizes the damage done by the spontaneous fission of uranium-238, the most abundant isotope of uranium.

In geology and Archaeology, the process of determining an object's or event's place within a chronological scheme.

Answer 2

Radioactive dating or "radiodating" is a method of determining the approximate age of an object by studying its isotope ratio. For example:

A certain percentage of carbon in the environment is radioactive carbon-14. A living organism keeps approximately this percentage, since it's constantly taking in additional carbon from the environment to replace the amount that decays. However, when the organism dies, it stops taking in new carbon-14, so by comparing the percentage that's present in the environment with that present in the sample, we can tell approximately how long ago it died.

Other methods differ slightly, but the basic idea is the same.

Answer 3

Radioactive dating is also known as Radiometric dating.

Answer 4

Absolute dating is distinguishable from relative dating. Absolute dating tells us exactly how old a material or object is, while relative dating tells us how much older or younger the material or object is as compared to another.
