Out of all given choices, “Relative dating depends on the use of radioactive isotopes to give exact ages of layers” the statement is not true of relative dating.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Relative dating is the determination of sequencing the events in a relative order of past with giving reference to any age information regarding the event. For example, dating with help of rock layer sequencing, using index fossils or any layer of sequenced sedimentation. Therefore, absolute or exact age determination is not an essential of relative dating.

All the other three options as given are true statements for the relative dating. The option D is incorrect statement because of the fact that relative dating does not talks about the determination of exact ages in any aspect. Like, Option A is correct as using rock layering sequence is one of the method of relative dating.

Answer:

The Battle of Nashville.

Explanation:

The Confederate forces, commanded by John Bell Hood, had already suffered heavy casualties against General John Scofield, at Franklin, Tennessee. When Scofield moved north to Nashville to reunite with General George Thomas, Hood followed him, despite being greatly outnumbered, and placed his troops outside Nashville's strong defenses.

Thomas saw the opportunity to strike the decisive blow and took it. The confederate army suffered a terrible defeat, and the few survivors had to retreat to Mississippi.

Hood signed his resignation shortly after that.
