The right answer is C. The rates of decay of radioactive elements.

The dating methods make it possible to locate an object in time, fossil remains, and to estimate a date as accurate as possible. If Carbon 14 is the method that comes to mind instantly, this is just one method among others. Depending on the object to date, the context of its discovery, the material and the quantity that can be taken, several techniques can be deployed.

Each method of dating is generally dedicated to the study of a type of materials, for example, timber for dendrochronology, organic remains (wood, bone) for the C14 method or lava for the Potassium-Argon method. Some methods are too destructive and/or too expensive, so it may sometimes be preferable to date the sediments surrounding an artifact rather than the object itself.

Which physical factor, related to the formation of severe weather, has to do with the amount of water vapor in the air?
lord [1]
Increase in temperature. I am not exactly sure what you're looking for but basically water vapour in the air has to do with evaporation of water from the surroundings so it will definitely have to do with the increase in global temperatures brought by global warming
