In geology, the Radioactive dating is significant because its provides a significant source of information about the ages of fossils and the deduced rates of evolutionary change.

<h3>What is a Radioactive dating?</h3>

This refers to the technique that is used to know the date of materials such as rocks or carbon in which the trace radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when they were formed.

It determines the dating of rocks and minerals through the use of a  radioactive isotopes, it is also useful for igneous and metamorphic rocks that cannot be dated by the stratigraphic correlation method.

As the carbon dating helps to determine the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of its radiocarbon, it is considered a poor tool for finding the age of the dinosaur skull in the purple layer because the collagen in the dinosaur's bone has usually long since decayed away and is therefore unavailable for radiocarbon dating.

How does ocean currents affect the climate of a continent?
Aleks [24]
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.
