Masja [62]2 years ago

Absolute dating methods determine how much time has passed since rocks formed by measuring the radioactive decay of isotopes or the effects of radiation on the crystal structure of minerals. Paleomagnetism measures the ancient orientation of the Earth's magnetic field to help determine the age of rocks.

<span>As humans cause more carbon dioxide to be released into the Earth's atmosphere, it causes the oceans to become much more acidified which in turn begins to damage the precious coral reefs. Roughly one quarter of all the life in the ocean is dependent on coral reefs for food and shelter.</span>
