Answer:

tectonic plates

Explanation:

    The earth's crust - the outermost layer of planet Earth, formed by rocks - is subdivided into several “pieces”, which, despite being separate, are always in contact with each other. The set of these pieces is called tectonic plates.

    Tectonism - also known as the movement of plate tectonics - has transformations that can be directly perceived by people on the earth's surface, such as earthquakes, the movement of continents, the formation of volcanoes and also the appearance of mountains.

Setler [38]

Answer:

C .radioactive dating each year

Explanation:

In determining the absolute age of two rocks, the most important thing is the radioactive dating of the rocks to compare the radioactive isotopes within them.

Absolute dating involves ascribing numerical age to a rock body. It is usually done by the process of radioactive dating in which the number of daughter to parent isotopes are compared.

This helps to give a precise numerical age to a rock.
