How is radioactive decay used to date sedimentary rocks?

Biology
2 answers:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago

The answer is; B

Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives (which is the amount of time taken for half of the total isotopes in the material to decay). Therefore, to predict the age of a rock in radiometric dating, the initial amount of the isotopes is determined and then that of decayed ones is determined. The predictability of the half-lives of the elements is then used to determine the age of the rock/fossil.

<span>Hello to answer your question fully.

<span>B.The amounts of carbon-14 and nitrogen in sedimentary rocks are measured.</span>


Radioactive dating is a method of dating rocks and minerals using radioactive isotopes. This method is useful for igneous and metamorphic rocks, which cannot be dated by the stratigraphic correlation method used for sedimentary rocks.

Revise this sentence by replacing all gerunds with infinitives.
vekshin1

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

I always tell people that I love to dance, to write and to paint.

The verb keep cannot take an infinitive afterwards so it is better to replace that expression  altogether with another one that means the same thing, but that can use an infinitive. The verb love can take either gerunds or infinitives afterwards with only a subtle variation in the meaning.
