The main difference between relative dating and radiometric dating is that relative dating is the method used to determine the age of rock layers according to their relative depth whereas radiometric dating is the method used to determine the absolute age with the use of decaying products of the natural radioactive

Answer:

The main difference between relative dating and radiometric dating is that relative dating is the method used to determine the age of rock layers according to their relative depth whereas radiometric dating is the method used to determine the absolute age with the use of decaying products of the natural radioactive. Also, absolute dating is more precise than relative dating because it tells the exact age of the fossils. Both are ultimately based on the fossils found in the strata.

Tom [10]
Let's think of it like this.  We have an energy crisis, but how can we solve it?  There are three steps.  First, we need to recognize that we HAVE a problem that needs to be fixed.  Then, we need to determine what's causing the problem.  Finally, we need to change how we act in order to solve the problem.  Now, let's look at the options.

Is A correct, leaving our behavior unchanged?  NO: if we know the cause of the problem, we still need to solve it!  What about B: the problems are ignored?  NO: you can't solve a problem unless you know it's a problem.  C?  NO: to solve a problem, you need to find out what's causing it.  Finally, let's look at D: behavior is changed after cause is identified.  This is correct: not only do we know why it's happening, but we're fixing it!
