- A scientist is determining the age of a rock by comparing their position to other rock layers. By doing this, the scientist is

determining ___. -
A)the date the rock was formed
B) the relative age of the rock
C) the absolute age of the rock
D) the level of radioactive isotope decay in the rock-
-At first I thought it was the date the rock was formed...But I think it wrong, so I looked over the text and now I'm thinking they want it to answer eider B-C relative or Absolute age of the rock. So I can cross off A and D. And by doing that, I had to take a look into my notes, and I notice my notes aren't the best but from what I know, Absolute determines whether it gives up the true ‘age’ of a rock or fossil. And Relative doesn't provide a “true age’’... But now that I'm thinking on it absolute looks to see if it mainly organic or tissue, while Relative mainly sedimentary rocks. So I'm thinking it B now, but I feel like I'm confusing myself with all this. So I wanted to understand this better and get a clear answer to this. If my answer wrong, can I get a short explanation as to why?-
