Question

if a scientist used radiometric dating on a rock sample which of the following would she likley be trying to find out​

Answer 1

Answer:

sedimentary rocks

Explanation:

can be dated using radioactive carbon, but because carbon decays relatively quickly, this only works for rocks younger than about 50 thousand years. So in order to date most older fossils, scientists look for layers of igneous rock or volcanic ash above and below the fossil.
