Question

Which of the following is an object used in relative dating?

Answer 1

Your answer is A) Carbon-14 
*~"AB84"~*

Answer 2

Answer;

A. carbon-14

Explanation;

• Relative dating involves the process of determining the age of an object in comparison to another without determining the absolute dating. It may be defined as a method of determining the age of a fossil by comparing its placement with that of fossils in other layers of rock.
• Carbon-14 is a type of carbon that undergoes radioactive decay at a known rate, and thus may be used in relative dating.
• The amount of carbon incorporated in an organisms (plants and animals) when its alive stops when an organism die and the amount of carbon-14 begins to decrease at death as it undergoes radioactive decay. This can be used to determine the age of fossils.
