What are the 3 types of radiometric dating and what are the years that they are good for?
The three types of radiometric dating are potassium-argon dating (good for dating volcanic rocks up to billions of years old), uranium-lead dating (good for dating rocks older than 1 million years), and carbon-14 dating (good for dating organic materials up to about 50,000 years old).
How do you use radiometric dating in a sentence?
Radiometric dating is the term for a method to determine the age of an object based on the concentration of a particular radioactive isotope contained within it. Example sentence:One of the early tests of radiometric dating was to estimate the age of the wood from an ancient Egyptian artifact, for which the age was already known from historical documents.
Radiometric dating is least useful for dating what type of rocks?
Radiometric dating is least useful for dating sedimentary rocks because they are formed from the accumulation of sediments, making it difficult to determine the original isotopic composition.
What sentence best describes the information provided by radiometric dating?
Radiometric dating measures the decay of radioactive isotopes in rocks to determine their age.
According to radiometric dating estimates the earth is approximately years old?
According to radiometric dating the Earth is approximately 4.54 billion years old. This age is based on dating of meteorite material.
