Geography
1 answer:
Nana76 [90]3 years ago
5 0

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.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

B. China has a large population , so its GDP per person is only modest

Explanation:

Despite being one of the countries with highest GDP's in the world, and experiencing enormous economic development in the past few decades, China's population is still not having the same level of financial power as the other countries with high GDP's. The main reason for this is that China has enormous population, being the most populated country in the world with over 1.3 billion people. Because of the enormous population, when the money are redistributed to everyone, it turns out that China is still at a level of a developing country. Not to make mistake, China's population has much higher standard of living than what it had few decades ago, so the people live much better, but the country still has a long way to go to reach the GDP's per capita that the other countries have.
