Answer:

The correct answer is: b. Radiometric.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating, or radioactive dating, is a method that is utilized to learn the age of materials such as rocks by comparing the known affluence of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope with its decay products, which are formed at known constant rates. <u><em>This means that they understand how old a material is by looking at how fast its radioactive components decay</em></u>.

Radiometric dating is used by setting geological timescales and thus, it supplies with a great amount of information about the date of fossils, among other things.

Weather generally refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity</em>

Components Climate may include precipitation, temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind velocity, phenomena such as fog, frost, and hail storms over a long period of time. <em>Weather includes sunshine, rain, cloud cover, winds, hail, snow, sleet, freezing rain, flooding, blizzards, ice storms, thunderstorms, steady rains from a cold front or warm front, excessive heat, heat waves and more</em>

About Climate is defined as statistical weather information that describes the variation of weather at a given place for a specified interval. <em>Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term (minutes to weeks) variation</em>

Time period Measured over a long period <em>Measured for short term</em>

Study Climatology. <em>Meteorology</em>
