Question

Write a question that you have about the geologic history of this location. What geologic evidence would you need to answer the question

Answer 1

Answer:

This question is incomplete since you have not provided information about the location it refers to. But anyway I will give you an answer that will be useful to you and that you can use as an example.

Explanation:

Example question: How long has it taken for the soil in this place to form?

Geologic Evidence:

Radiometric dating is a technique used to estimate the absolute (numerical) age of geological materials such as rocks, minerals, or organic matter, which is achieved from radioactive isotopes.

The procedure consists of measuring in what proportion the parent isotope and its descendants are present, of which the period of disintegration has already been studied previously. For this, the following equation is used:

                                   t = (1 / λ). Ln (1 + D / P)

Where:

t = the age of the rock

λ = decay constant

D = number of atoms of the daughter isotope within the sample

P = amount of parent isotopes within the sample
