Nana76 [90]4 years ago

Answer: Igneous Rock

Explanation: Radiometric dating is used to date rocks by measuring the decay of their composite materials. Stable isotopes remain the same over   time while the nucleus of an unstable or radioactive isotope will decay to form other isotopes .

Dating rocks using Isotopic methods uses the decay time of the isotope in the rock to assess its age. The accuracy of this method is assured by the fact that when these isotopes decay, they are retained in the rock. Isotopic dating is not very accurate in sedimentary rocks because they contain particles from older rocks.

Which statements BEST describes a command economy? Resources are owned by the government. Capitalism is a type of command econom
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The correct statements are:

- <em>Resources are owned by the government;</em>

The command economies are typical for the socialist/communist countries. In this type of economy, the government controls everything, the resources of the country, the production facilities, trade is organized by the government officials, the planning for production of when, how much, and how, is done by government officials... Unfortunately for the people living in this types of countries, this type of economy very often led to big problems, especially in the food supply department.

- <em>Little changes from generation to generation;</em>

This can be seen as trait of both command and traditional economy. In the command economy there are little to no changes as the time passes, so from one generation to another, the changes will either be lacking, or they will be so minor that they will be unnoticeable.

nalin [4]

The correct answer is - The government controls factories and other forms of production.

The Socialist governments with their command economies tend to control all factories in the country, as well as all the production in the country.
