Answer:

Both absolute and relative dating

Explanation:

There are two ways of finding the age of the fossil.

1. Relative dating

2. Radioactive dating.

Relative dating: In this method, we can only compare the ages of the fossil but cannot precisely find it. In relative dating, we dig the earth and look for the presence of fossils, and it is reasonable that the fossil discovered closer to the surface of the earth is most recent one and the fossil discovered in the deeper layers is the older one. So here we talk about the age of fossil in relative terms.

Radioactive dating: All organic matter on the earth is made up of various elements. Some elements exist in different isotopic forms such as C-12 and C-14. C-14 is radioactive isotope, it is unstable and decays over time at a steady rate. This steady rate is known as half life of the respective isotope. We can calculate the ratio of observed abundance of that radioactive isotope and its decay product in the fossil or rock we are studying. This is the principle of radioactive dating.

It is relative dating because no scientist can tell the actually time that the layers of rocks where formed or when the fossil began to degrade

What type of diversity is represented by a vegetable garden?
vredina [299]

Answer:

The biodiversity in vegetable crops is composed by the genetic diversity, as species diversity (interspecific diversity) and as diversity of genes within a species (intraspecific diversity) referring to the vegetable grown varieties, and by the diversity of agro-ecosystems (agro-biodiversity).
