"From any location on the Earth, the Moon appears to be a circular disk which, at any specific time, is illuminated to some degree by direct sunlight. Like the Earth, the Moon is a sphere which is always half illuminated by the Sun, but as the Moon orbits the Earth we get to see more or less of the illuminated half."

Fantom [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

All of the above mentioned options can be used by scientists to date the sediment layer they are found in.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Tree rings clearly exhibit the age of the tree. Hence, a sediment layer with the evidence of tree rings can tell the age of the sediment layer.
  • An amalgamation of the data obtained from the animal growth rings and the period of existence of that specific animal species can be used to calculate the age of the sediment.
  • The intensity of radioactivity left in the isotopes clarifies how old the isotope is.
  • The age of mineral elements can be determined exactly with the help of processes like Potassium-Argon dating, Uranium-Lead dating, etc.
  • Thus it would be easy to determine the age of the sediment layer containing mineral elements.
