Answer:

O. Geologists and archaeologists use different dating processes to determine the age of rocks, fossils, and ancient artifacts.

Explanation:

Redioactive decay is the process whereby the radioactive materials reduces in quantity through the decay of its materials.

For example, if there where 100g of polonium today, and 5 years later, it has reduced to 30g, then, radioactive decay has taken place over the long period of time.

<em>One of its major use is in the determination of the ages of rocks, fossils, and ancient artifiacts through its cabon dating inorder to determining the radioactive decay of those materials over the past few decades.</em>

What is the shape of a solid

Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume.

Solids have a fixed shape and a fixed size. The particles are very close together and held in place by strong forces (bonds). Their particles cannot move around, but they do vibrate. Because the particles cannot move around, a solid has a fixed shape.

Solids can be hard like a rock, soft like fur, a big rock like an asteroid, or small rocks like grains of sand. The key is that solids hold their shape and they don't flow like a liquid.
