Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

Carbon dating using the radioactive decay of Carbon-14 is reliable up to 50,000 years. It is mostly used for living organisms that were younger than that period. Rocks are much older than 50,000 years and rocks from the Mesozoic era would not be able to be dated using Carbon-14. It will require another element with longer half-lives in order to determine ages higher than 65 million years ago.

ss7ja [257]
Given that Riley is a human, it's strange to use the terms erosion or weathering to describe her interaction with rocks. Nevertheless, Erosion is the transport of surface materials (soil, rocks, etc.) through the actions of wind, water, and ice, while weathering is the physical/chemical breakdown or change of objects due to weather conditions occuring mainly through the action of wind, water, and temperature on rocks and soil. This coupled with the fact that erosion occurs over a distance makes the best answer weathering.
